TEHRAN (Defapress) - Esmail Baghaei, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, strongly condemned the brutal attacks by the Zionist regime against the centers and tents of Palestinian refugees in Jabalia and Khan Yunis, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of dozens of innocent Palestinians, including several infants.
Baghaei described the widespread and unprecedented violations of human and humanitarian rights in occupied Palestine by the Zionist regime as a "blatant violation of the fundamental principles and rules of international law." Recalling the legal and moral obligation of each state, and consequently, the United Nations, to prevent genocide and ensure compliance with the rules of humanitarian law, he emphasized the need to expedite the prosecution of cases opened before the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court against the Zionist regime and its officials for committing war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
The Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, while expressing solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine, called for effective action by the international community and regional countries to immediately stop the Zionist regime's criminal attacks and send food and medicine to the Gaza Strip as quickly as possible, to hold accountable and punish the regime's criminal officials, to completely withdraw the occupiers from the Gaza Strip, and to find solutions to confront the Zionist regime's evils against countries in the region, including Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.
