Mohammad Mehdi Esmaili made the comment during his speech at the extraordinary session of the Islamic Conference of Information Ministers, which was held by the OIC in Istanbul, Turkey, on February 24.

The session took place under the theme “Media disinformation and attacks committed by the Israeli occupation authorities against journalists and media outlets in the occupied Palestinian territory”, according to the OIC official website.

“A specialized mechanism should be established at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to precisely document the Zionist regime’s crimes. we can collect solid evidence to seek justice through legal ways and make sure that those responsible for these inhumane acts will be held accountable,” the Iranian minister said in his speech.

He made the comment as part of the Islamic Republic’s proposals aimed at supporting the Palestinian people in Gaza where the Israeli regime has been conducting intense attacks since early October.

As part of other measures to back Gazans, the Iranian official proposed that media cooperation be enhanced among OIC member states in an effort to counter disinformation spread by the Israeli regime.
