The president of Ahlul Bayt University in Iraq has hailed the global protests in support of the people in Palestine and Lebanon stressing that the Israeli regime has defied human dignity in worst way possible.

Hamid Abd Jawad Mohammed al-Najdi, speaking at the opening ceremony of the international conference on ‘Human Dignity and Family Challenges in Modern World’ denounced the Israeli regime for undermining the human dignity and human rights in the besieged Gaza Strip and Lebanon, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

He hailed the first conference of the human dignity organized by Iran’s World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought saying that such conferences are an answer to the Israeli regime.

The Iraqi academic also condemned Israel for assassination of the Hezbollah leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah saying,” Nasrallah’s martyrdom tore our heart into pieces.”
