Iran urges serious int’l action against threat posed by ‘racist’ Israeli regime
TEHRAN (Iran News) In a statement late on Monday, Baqaei highlighted the continued Israeli killing and genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip through the constant bombing campaign and by preventing humanitarian aid.
Reminding the international community and the United Nations of their responsibility, he demanded immediate and effective measures to stop Israeli crimes and prosecute war criminals and genocidal perpetrators.
Baqaei also pointed to the recent UN General Assembly resolution following an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which outlined Israel’s responsibilities under both the UN Charter and humanitarian law.
The UN resolution, tabled by Norway alongside more than a dozen other states, secured support from 139 countries, emphasizing the obligation of all states to ensure the implementation of rules of law, condemn the repeated and gross violations of humanitarian law, crimes against humanity and genocide by Israel, and need to end the regime’s impunity.
Referring to the Israeli warmongering in the region, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson slammed the United States for providing the regime with political and military support to commit genocide in Gaza and crimes in occupied Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.
Despite the declaration of an alleged ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, the Israeli regime, with the full backing of the United States and the indifference of the guarantors of the ceasefire, continues to commit barbaric crimes in Palestine and Lebanon, he added.
Israel has only allowed into Gaza a fraction of the humanitarian aid deliveries agreed to as part of the so-called US-brokered ceasefire that came into effect in October. UN member states later endorsed the ICJ’s findings and pressed Israel to meet its legal obligations as an occupying power.
