Iran slams continued Israeli crimes in Gaza, warns of 'horrible, unpredictable' consequences
Iran has strongly condemned the continuation of Israeli crimes against civilians in the Gaza Strip, blaming the international community for its inaction on the regime’s ongoing atrocities.
In a statement on Sunday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei warned against the “horrible and unpredictable” consequences of the Israeli regime’s continued acts of crime and aggression against the Palestinian people.
It is shameful that Israel is committing all kinds of crimes and brutal actions against the Palestinian people on a daily basis, he said.
The Iranian spokesperson added that the Tel Aviv regime’s continued criminal acts are underway in the wake of the silence and lack of responsibility from the international community and human rights organizations, as well as the impunity of the rogue regime and the ongoing US support for it.
'Apartheid regime's dangerous plan'
He emphasized that the latest massacre of dozens of innocent Palestinians in the Gaza town of Beit Lahia and the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by extremist Israeli settlers expose an “organized and dangerous plan by the apartheid Zionist regime to eliminate the Palestinian nation’s identity and the land’s holy sites.”
Gaza’s Health Ministry said that at least 87 Palestinians, most of them women and children, were killed or missing in the Israeli regime’s airstrikes overnight and into Sunday on Beit Lahia
Israeli forces also bombed Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, causing damage to the facility’s water tanks and electricity grid, according to the hospital’s director Hussam Abu Safia.
In yet another provocative move against Palestinian worshipers, some 1,390 illegal Israeli settlers broke into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied Old City of al-Quds on Sunday under the protection of Israeli forces.
Baghaei urged the international community and Muslim countries to take immediate, decisive and deterrent actions to hold the “criminal leaders” of the Israeli regime accountable.
The Iranian diplomat reaffirmed Tehran’s commitment to its moral, Islamic and legal responsibility to support the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian people against occupation and apartheid.
Since October 7 last year, Israel’s onslaught in Gaza has killed 42,603 people, a majority of them civilians.
