SAEDNEWS: Foreign Minister of Iran Abbas Araqchi denounced Western governments’ “deafening silence” on the Zionist regime’s crimes and targeting of journalists.
"Israel just carried out targeted assassinations of several more accredited and high-profile Palestinian journalists. Is that strength? Or the panic of a globally reviled regime that is going downhill?" Araqchi said in a post on his X account on Monday night.
"When all this is over, the world will remind Western governments of their complicity in these atrocities. Their shameful silence is deafening,” he added.
Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif was killed alongside four colleagues in a targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists in Gaza City on Sunday.
The attack on the tent located outside the main gate of Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital also killed Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa. Freelance reporter Mohammed al-Khaldi was also among those reported killed.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 61,430 people and wounded 153,213 since October 2023.
