Leader calls on Muslims to ‘completely’ sever ties with Israel over Gaza genocide
Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that the world countries and the Muslim community should sever their ties with the Israeli regime over the occupying entity’s continued genocide of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Addressing a meeting with the Iranian government, Ayatollah Khamenei said the “catastrophic actions” of the Israeli regime in Gaza has to be confronted and the Iranian diplomatic apparatus should advise the countries to cut their relations with Tel Aviv.
“Although these crimes are carried out with the support of a power like the US, the path to countering this situation is not closed, and protesting countries, especially Islamic countries, must completely sever their commercial and even political ties with the Zionist regime and isolate it,” the Leader said.
“The catastrophic actions of the evil and detestable Zionist regime in Gaza must be confronted and one of the main lines of our diplomacy should also be to encourage governments to cut their ties with this criminal regime,” he added.
Israel unleashed its brutal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023 after the Palestinian resistance groups carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has so far resulted in at least 64,368 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 162,367 others injured.
Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.
