In response, Al-Maliki expressed gratitude and appreciation for the Serbian president’s vision of deepening relations, including the start of the two-day event of the Non-Aligned Movement Summit.

Israel captured the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza in the 1967 war and has not put an end to its illegal occupation of the seized territories, which were earmarked for a future Palestinian state.
