Renewed Israeli attacks on Gaza ‘continuation of genocide, ethnic cleansing’: Iran
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has strongly condemned renewed Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, describing them as a “continuation of genocide and ethnic cleansing” in the besieged territory.
Baghaei made the remarks in a statement on Tuesday, hours after Israeli airstrikes on Gaza left hundreds of Palestinians, including women and children, dead.
He went on to say that the United States bears full responsibility for the killings in Gaza, noting that the Israeli attacks are being carried out with a “green light” from Washington.
Baghaei further called on the international community to take on its responsibilities and stop the Israeli regime’s war crimes in Gaza, which “are carried out with the full backing of the US, Britain, and other Western nations.”
The Foreign Ministry spokesman also said failing to address Israel’s blatant violations of international law will erode the legal system of norms based upon the UN Charter, warning against the catastrophic consequences of such conditions for global peace and security.
Baghaei also highlighted the Muslim world’s responsibility to prevent the continuation of acts of genocide in occupied Palestine, urging the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to take decisive measures to expedite the prosecution of Israeli leaders in the International Criminal Court (ICC), to enforce rulings issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and to stop the delivery of arms and financial supports for the occupying regime.
Over 400 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed on Tuesday after the occupying regime resumed its genocidal war on Gaza, undermining the fragile two-month-long truce agreement with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.
Overnight Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, which were the deadliest since a ceasefire began in the besieged territory, drew a wave of condemnations worldwide.
Israel launched its brutal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, but the regime failed to achieve its declared objectives despite killing more than 48,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
The Tel Aviv regime accepted Hamas’s longstanding negotiation terms under the three-phase Gaza truce, which began on January 19.
Later, however, Israel refused to move forward to the second stage of the ceasefire, which required it to withdraw the occupation troops from Gaza.
