Iran said Friday that the Islamic resistance which helped force Israeli troops out of south Lebanon a year ago was serving as a model for Palestinians in their uprising against the Jewish state. Iran does not recognise the state of Israel and has wholeheartedly supported the latest Palestinian uprising or intifada. Foreign ministers of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, currently chaired by Qatar, are to meet in Doha on Saturday to consider the Middle East crisis. But Persian Gulf diplomats said Tuesday they expected many Persian Gulf Arab foreign ministers not to attend the meeting as a protest because Qatar has allowed the Jewish state to maintain its trade office in Doha.
