Esmaeil Baghaei made the remarks in a post on X, former Twitter, on Thursday concerning British Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s insistence in a letter addressed to the British parliament on September 1 that the regime was not perpetrating genocide in the coastal sliver.
The spokesman cited Lammy as saying back then in the letter that the UK government had “not concluded” that the regime was perpetrating genocidal aggression in Gaza since, according to the secretary, “genocide features “specific intent to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.”
Baghaei, however, went on to cite the findings of the UN Human Rights Council-mandated Commission of Inquiry, which has, quite to the contrary, pointed out that the regime’s officials and forces “have had and continue to have” such genocidal intent towards Gaza’s two-million-plus population.
He asserted that the 72-page legal analysis, which has examined verifiable facts and figures, “leaves no doubt” as to the true genocidal nature of the regime’s cruelties and atrocities in Gaza.
The official, therefore, condemned Britain’s and the regime’s others allies’ persistent abetment of these atrocities.
“The genocidal regime's enablers and apologists must shoulder their legal and moral responsibilities and stop active participation and complicity in genocide of Palestinian people.”
As well as such instances of denial, Baghaei was referring to the Israeli-allied states’ provision of other means of political support for the regime, such as their casting their veto power in favor of the regime on the global stage and attempts at whitewashing its crimes otherwise.
Additionally, the allies have been directly supplying Tel Aviv with deadly weapons and intelligence, including attack coordinates.
The war of genocide has so far claimed the lives of more than 65,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, besides sending thousands of others missing, either buried under the rubble or subjected to forced disappearance.
It has also afflicted the densely-populated Palestinian territory with deliberate devastation of nearly all of its vital infrastructure, and used starvation as a weapon by subjecting it to a near-total siege.
