AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian in a letter to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called for holding to account Zionist regime war criminals for the ongoing Gaza onslaught.
Amirabdollahian in his letter on Wednesday to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights condemned the gross and systematic violation of the human rights of the Palestinian people by the Zionist regime, and emphasized that he expects the UN official and other human rights mechanisms of the United Nations to immediately stop the attacks of the Israeli regime and punish the rulers of the regime and hold them to account for committing crimes against humanity and war crimes.
"The statements by the authorities of the Israeli regime together with the widespread and systematic attacks of the Zionist regime military in the Gaza Strip show that this is a campaign for the genocide of the Palestinian people," the Iranian foreign minister added.
"The forced displacement of the Palestinian people by the Israeli regime and the entry of this regime's forces into Gaza for 'ethnic cleansing' is in blatant violation of international law. Palestinians are not safe anywhere in Gaza, because the Israeli regime has imposed a 'total siege' on this small area and has illegally cut off water, food, fuel and electricity," he further added.
He criticized the inaction on the part of the international community against the Zionist regime crimes as a catalyst for the Zionist war criminals to intensify their campaign, calling for serious action to hold the regime's ruler accountable.
Israel waged a war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
