Iran press/ Iran news: Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi made the remarks on Friday in response to a question regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s unannounced trip to Oman a day earlier.
While criticizing the Israeli PM's trip to Muscat, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman said Muslim states, under pressure from the United States, should not allow Tel Aviv to create further trouble for the region, Presstv reported.
The Israeli regime "is undoubtedly seeking to create rifts among Muslim countries and cover up 70 years of occupation, aggression and massacre of the oppressed Palestinian people," Qassemi stated.
It seems that since US President Donald Trump came to power, Netanyahu has been lobbying the Zionist regime and pressuring Muslim states to "normalize diplomatic relations with the usurpers of Muslims' first qibla,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman added, referring to the holy city of al-Quds.
“History and experience have proved that surrendering to the illegitimate demands of the US and the Israeli regime will further embolden them to exert pressure and advance their agenda in the region and to ignore the inalienable rights of the Palestinian nation,” he further said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Oman on Friday and discussed so- called peace initiatives in the Middle East with Omani ruler Sultan Qaboos, Netanyahu’s office said after he returned home.

The rare visit by the Israeli Prime Minister to Oman — which was not publicized beforehand — comes days after Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas paid a three-day visit to Oman and also met Qaboos.
Netanyahu was accompanied on Friday by senior officials, including the head of the Mossad spy agency and his national security adviser.
A joint statement by Netanyahu and Oman’s ruler Sultan Qaboos said: “Among the issues discussed were ways to advance the peace process in the Middle East as well as several matters of joint interest regarding the achievement of peace and stability in the Middle East.”
Muscat and Tel Aviv have no diplomatic relations, and the last Israeli PM to visit Oman was then-prime minister Shimon Peres in 1996.
