Baghaei said the sustained attacks on Gaza, combined with restrictions on the entry of humanitarian assistance, constitute grave crimes that demand immediate and effective action by the international community and the United Nations. He stressed that global institutions bear responsibility for halting the crimes and prosecuting those responsible for war crimes and genocide.
Referring to a recent resolution of the United Nations General Assembly concerning the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Baghaei noted that the resolution underscores the obligation of all states, under Common Article 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, to ensure respect for international humanitarian law.
He strongly condemned the repeated and flagrant violations of humanitarian law by the Israeli regime, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, and emphasized the urgent need to end what he called the regime’s impunity.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman described the United States and other military and political supporters of Israel as complicit in the genocide of Palestinians and other crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territories, as well as in Lebanon and Syria.
Baghaei added that despite declared ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon, Israel continues its attacks with full US support and amid the indifference of ceasefire guarantors, carrying out further violence in Palestinian territories and Lebanon.
