SAEDNEWS: Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei strongly condemned the continued killing and the genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, citing ongoing bombardments and the obstruction of humanitarian aid.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei described the sustained attacks on Gaza, combined with restrictions on humanitarian aid, as grave crimes that require immediate and effective action from the international community and the United Nations. He emphasized that global institutions have a responsibility to halt these violations and hold those responsible for war crimes and genocide accountable.
Referring to a recent United Nations General Assembly resolution regarding the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Baghaei highlighted that the resolution reinforces the obligation of all states, under Common Article 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, to ensure respect for international humanitarian law.
He strongly condemned repeated and blatant breaches of humanitarian law by the Israeli regime, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, stressing the urgent need to end what he described as the regime’s impunity.
The spokesman also accused the United States and other military and political backers of Israel of complicity in the genocide of Palestinians and other crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territories, as well as in Lebanon and Syria.
Baghaei noted that, despite declared ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel continues its attacks with full U.S. support and amid the indifference of ceasefire guarantors, perpetrating further violence in Palestinian territories and Lebanon.
