Nasser Kan'ani, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson
Tehran, July 14 (RHC)-- Iran says the Israeli regime's savage attack on the al-Mawasi refugee camp near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis is a continuation of the ongoing genocide in Gaza with the support of the US and other self-proclaimed defenders of human rights.
In a statement on Saturday, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan'ani denounced the "brutal invasion" by the Israeli regime's terrorist army against the designated "safe zone" of Mawasi, which killed more than 90 people and sustained injuries to more than 300 others.
The Palestinian resistance movements Hamas and Islamic Jihad strongly condemned the “horrific massacre.”
The Iranian spokesperson said the massacre of the Mawasi area clearly shows the Israeli regime's firm determination to continue committing genocide against the people of Palestine amid the inaction of the international community.
Israel's airstrikes were aimed at breaking the brave and heroic resistance of the Palestinian people in the face of apartheid terrorist Israel's army, he added.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has called on the international community, particularly Muslim countries and organizations as well as human rights bodies, to make a decisive and effective response to Israel's crime in Mawasi by fulfilling their legal and human duties.
They should make their utmost efforts to "fully and permanently" stop the Israeli regime's criminal actions against the defenseless Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, Kan'ani emphasized. The foreign ministry spokesperson said the Israeli regime pursued "purposeful killing and ethnic cleansing" by carrying out deliberate attacks on schools, hospitals and refugee camps in recent days.
Israel's crimes displayed the regime's desperation in the face of the Palestinian nation and resistance groups, he noted.
Kan'ani emphasized that the regime's criminal acts once again reiterated the important duties of the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to pursue the case and arrest and bring the racist criminal Israelis to trial.
The Iranian spokesperson called on all Muslim countries, nations and free governments in the world to impose comprehensive sanctions on Israel and bring its criminal leaders to justice as soon as possible.
