Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said the US officials backing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are complicit in the Zionist regime’s crimes, EDNews.net reports citing Mehr News.

His message came on the eve of the International Quds Day, when millions of freedom-seekers around the world declare their support to the oppressed people of Palestine and their hatred to the Zionist regime’s barbaric crimes.

In another tweet earlier on Thursday, Zarif stressed that Palestinians should not have to pay for West crimes or guilt.

"Disgusting that those whose civilization found a "Final Solution" in gas chambers attack those who seek a real solution at the ballot box, through a REFERENDUM. Why are US and West so afraid of democracy?” Zarif wrote, adding, "Palestinians should not have to pay for your crimes, or for your guilt."
