SAEDNEWS: Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said that Palestinians are starved to death and are being killed by weapons provided by Western states to Israel.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has called on the international community to put an arms embargo on Israel as part of measures to end the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The Iranian spokesperson, in a post shared on X late on Saturday, referred to Israel’s starvation campaign against Gazans and the killing of Palestinians in the strip by weapons provided by Western countries including the United States and Germany.
He also referred to Israeli forces’ fatal shootings of the Palestinians waiting to receive food at the so-called aid distribution centers run by the regime, while patients and the injured are denied treatment as supplies of medicine run short in the Gaza Strip due to the Israeli siege in place since March.
“Palestinians are wickedly starved to death at the same time that they are massacred by the most sophisticated lethal American and German made weapons,” he said.
“Lines for food are deliberately turned into death traps, patients die without food and medicine and this is after two years of brutal terror campaign of bombardment and massive annihilation that has killed and maimed more than 200,000 persons, traumatized the whole Gazans and turned 90 percent of Gaza strip into an uninhabitable moonscape,” Baqaei further said.
The Iranian diplomat called on the international community to stop issuing empty statements and take action to stop arms delivery to Israel.
“The international community must stop issuing empty statements and start taking action to relieve the innocent Gazans, implement an immediate arms embargo on the genocidal occupying regime and prosecute the criminals for their atrocities,” according to the spokesperson.
