TEHRAN (FNA)- A number of prominent Jewish religious leaders met with
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his visit to New York.

President Ahmadinejad, heading a high-ranking delegation, was in New York to
take part in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference at the UN
headquarters.

At the meeting with the anti-Zionist rabbis, President Ahmadinejad stressed
that supporting the rights of the oppressed people against the arrogant
powers sets a priority for the Islamic Republic of Iran.

He also reiterated Tehran's support for minority rights, and added, "We have
always underlined the rights of minorities in Iran and we are supporting
their rights."

During the meeting, Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, spokesman of Neturei Karta
International thanked Ahmadinejad for the stances adopted and declared by
Iran in the NPT review conference.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran have always been a defender of the right and
despite the false propaganda launched by the western median, the government
of Iran is a friend of the world nations," Weiss stressed.

Neturei Karta (Aramaic for "Guardians of the City") was founded nearly 70
years ago in Jerusalem by Jews who opposed the drive to establish the state
of Israel, believing only the Messiah could do that. Estimates of the
group's size range from a hundred thousand to less than a million.

In recent decades its members have shown up to protest at international
conferences and pro-Israel rallies.

The Israel regime and its Zionist supporters all across the world have
carried out violent attacks on Neturei Karta rallies and gatherings and have
killed and wounded many of these anti-Israeli Jewish rabbis.
