Iran’s FM warns about trivializing Israeli genocide in Gaza
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Monday warned about trivializing the crimes and massacres committed by the Israeli regime against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Addressing an extraordinary meeting of the foreign ministers of the Group of Friends of the United Nations Charter, Araghchi warned about the further tarnishing of the credibility of the UN due to its continued inaction about the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, saying that the international community should not allow the regime’s lawlessness and aggression to become the norm.
Araghchi said that Iran considers an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Israel’s prime minister and his former minister of military affairs as a necessary but belated step on the path to justice and punishment of “the Zionist criminals,” calling on the international community to be serious in implementing the ICC rulings.
He described the past 14 months of Israel’s genocide in Gaza as a continuation of the 80-year-old “colonial annihilation” plan in Palestine.
Stopping Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its aggression against Lebanon requires a worldwide coalition to hold accountable, prosecute, and punish the regime’s leaders, as well as to hold accountable the regime’s supporters, especially the United States, Araghchi said.
