Tehran, October 17 (RHC)-- The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry says the United States and Germany are the main apologists of Israel’s crimes and its biggest supplier of lethal weapons.
Esmaeil Baghaei criticized Washington and Berlin in a post on his X account on Thursday on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Israeli regime’s airstrike on the Mamdani Hospital, also known as Ahli Arab Hospital, in the besieged Gaza Strip.
On October 17, 2023, Israel massacred more than 500 Palestinians, including injured women and children, during its airstrike against the hospital. Many of the victims were taking shelter there from days of ruthless Israeli bombardment of the blockaded territory.
“The people of Palestine, region and beyond will not forget that #US and #Germany, as the main apologists of Israeli crimes, are the regime’s biggest supplier of lethal weapons as well,” Baghaei said.
The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry added that there is no limit to cruelty, "if accompanied with ideological narcissism and impunity." Baghaei noted that the innocent people of Gaza were brutally slaughtered during Israel’s attack, the regime’s first case of war crime in Gaza in the first days of its genocidal war “which drew unanimous global condemnation.”
The Iranian Foreign Ministry held the U.S. and some European countries responsible for Israel’s persistence of its carnage in Gaza and wider war against Palestinians across their occupied homeland, citing "full impunity" provided to Tel Aviv by them. “Complicity in atrocity is as repulsive as the actual atrocity,” Baghaei emphasized.
Israel has killed over 2,300 people and injured nearly 11,000 in Lebanon since October 8, 2023, according to Lebanon’s Public Health Ministry. Over the same period, the regime has been busy with its campaign of genocide in the Gaza Strip. It has killed 42,438 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
