Iran's Spokesperson for Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baghaei, condemned today's brutal assault by Zionist forces on a residential home in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, which resulted in the martyrdom of over sixty civilians and injuries of dozens more.
He denounced the ongoing genocide and killing of defenseless Palestinians and the targeting of residential areas and essential infrastructure in Gaza, calling for decisive international action to halt these crimes and to bring the leaders of the occupying regime to justice.
The Foreign Ministry spokesperson described the continued attacks on residential areas and the mass killing of Gaza's residents-coupled with the complete blockade of northern Gaza and the obstruction of humanitarian aid-as a clear instance of war crimes and part of a plan to annihilate the Palestinian people and forcibly displace them from their homeland.
He reminded all governments of their responsibility to oppose genocide and war crimes committed by the occupying regime.
Baghaei strongly criticized the military and political support provided by the U.S. and certain other Western countries to the occupying regime, labeling these states as complicit in the crimes being committed in Gaza. He called for a global mobilization against the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
