Iran president urges world bodies to protect peace, prevent Israel's crimes against humanity

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says international organizations, especially the UN Security Council, must fulfill their responsibility of protecting regional and world peace and security and preventing crimes against humanity.

Pezeshkian on Saturday “strongly condemned” the Israeli regime’s brutal attack on a school sheltering displaced people in the east of the Gaza Strip, which killed more than 100 civilians.

The Gaza government media office said more than 100 citizens were killed and dozens injured on Saturday morning after the Israeli occupation forces bombed the al-Tabi’in school in the al-Daraj neighborhood in Gaza City.

Global condemnations pour in over Israel’s massacre in Gaza school

Many countries and international organizations condemn the Israeli regime’s brutal genocidal airstrikes on a school-turned-shelter for displaced Palestinians in Gaza City.

Pezeshkian said, “With this crime, the Zionist regime once again revealed its true and brutal nature to the world.”

He added that the Israeli regime is carrying out these genocidal acts with the support of self-proclaimed defenders of human rights—governments and institutions that advocate for peace negotiations and ceasefires while simultaneously providing unrestricted support to this brutal regime.

“Based on the teachings of human rights and Islamic culture and vision, they are definitely accomplices of the child-killing regime in all these bitter events through their double standard attitudes,” the Iranian president emphasized.

He stated that these crimes stem from the humiliation and desperation felt by the criminal and brutal leaders of the Israeli regime in the face of resistance of the resilient people of Gaza.

Pezeshkian said the Tel Aviv regime commits such brutal crimes to “cover up internal crises and inefficiencies that have spread throughout the occupied territories and have put the criminal Zionist gang on the verge of collapse.”

He emphasize that Israel’s brutal strike on the al-Tabi’in school has left another “shameful stain” on the dark record of the regime and hurt the feelings of all the “awakened and free conscience” of the world.

The Iranian president expressed his deep solidarity with the bereaved families of the martyrs and victims of this tragedy and offered his condolences to the resilient Palestinian people and the commanders and fighters of the resistance.

Backed by the US and its Western allies, the Israeli regime launched an all-out invasion of Gaza after it was caught off-guard by Operation Al-Aqsa Storm inside the occupied territories in October last year.

At least 39,790 Palestinians have since been killed, most of them women and children, and 92,002 others injured in the merciless Israeli aggression.

Israel has also been enforcing a crippling siege on the coastal territory by choking off the flow of foodstuffs, medicine, electricity, and water into the Palestinian territory.
