Western states continue to be the main suppliers of lethal weapons to Israel in defiance of calls to end their complicity in the regime’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

Moscow says it has opened a criminal case on the suspected involvement of Western officials in “financing terrorism” in Russia.

In a phone call with his UK counterpart, Amir-Abdollahian has condemned the silence of some Western governments regarding the crimes committed by the Israeli regime against the innocent Palestinians in Gaza.

Iran strongly condemns Israel’s complicity in drafting and approving the human rights resolution against the Islamic Republic, saying the move is nothing but a big political and moral scandal for Western countries.

President Ebrahim Raeisi says unlike Iran, the Western countries have been violating human rights by using women as a tool and leverage against independent nations.

Sergey Ryabkov said the crucial criterion for membership was the “non-application by a potential BRICS participant of illegal sanctions.”

The Syrian foreign minister says sanctions imposed by Western countries and their support for Takfiri terrorist groups are to be blamed for the humanitarian crisis in the war-ravaged country.
