Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi on Monday welcomed the agreement reached between Hizbullah and israel through German mediation on release of Palestinian and Arab prisoners from Israeli jails.
He said the release of 435 prisoners from Palestine, Lebanon and other Arab states is a great victory for the resistance movement and the Lebanese people and government.
According to IRNA, he further pointed out that most of the detained persons were arrested either on charges of resisting occupation of their lands in Lebanon or Palestine and then convicted to long-term prisons by Israel or were illegally kidnapped from their homelands.
Kharrazi believed their release was a great achievement for Palestinians, Lebanese and all Islamic nations.
