Iran, Qatar FMs urge intl. community to stop Israel war crimes
TEHRAN- The foreign ministers of Iran and Qatar have said that the world community should act immediately to push the Israeli regime to cease its harsh actions in Gaza, which are clearly in violation of international law.
On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian spoke by phone with his Qatari counterpart Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani about the recent developments in Palestine and Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.
They highlighted that the Tel Aviv regime is to blame for the ongoing disaster in the beleaguered Gaza Strip.
The top Iranian and Qatari diplomats additionally asked Muslim and Arab nations to provide immediate humanitarian aid to the oppressed Palestinian people.
Amir Abdollahian and Al Thani discussed the most recent innovative measures to curtail Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.
Israel has regularly attacked hospitals, residential structures, mosques, and churches in Gaza. Attacks on hospitals are absolutely banned under the Geneva Convention.
Several hospitals in Gaza City have become safe havens for Palestinians trying to avoid Israeli airstrikes, which began in early October.
The Palestinian resistance group Hamas has recently requested the UN Secretary-General to set up an international committee to tour hospitals in the beleaguered Gaza Strip with the goal of rebutting Israel’s false allegations that they are used as a launch pad for anti-Israel activities. According to Hamas, the claims are intended to justify Israel’s airstrikes on Gaza hospitals. Independent observers argue that Israeli forces are using Gaza hospitals as a humanitarian shield.
In its persistent bombing of the Gaza Strip, Israel killed at least 13,000 Palestinians, including over 5,500 children and 3,500 women.
“U.S. stoking Israel war on Gaza despite claims to contrary”
The Iranian foreign minister also discussed the situation in Gaza with his Russian counterpart.
In a phone conversation on Sunday, Amir Abdollahian and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov discussed the latest developments in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
He added that the U.S. is escalating the Israeli regime’s offensive against Gaza.
“The U.S. claims it seeks to stop Israeli war but it is adding to the intensity and scope of the American-Zionist war in practice,” the top Iranian diplomat said.
The Iranian minister said that Israel’s blind bombardment and the regime’s ongoing attacks were to blame for the slaughter of thousands of people in Gaza, including women and children, as well as the deaths of dozens of prisoners.
Amir Abdollahian emphasized how critical it is to stop forced displacement and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.
He urged Russia to take a more proactive approach to enhancing regional security and stability.
The foreign minister of Iran underlined that the resistance front will surely decide the outcome in the end.
For his part, Russia’s foreign minister expressed concern over Israel’s refusal to halt its atrocities in Gaza.
Lavrov encouraged the continuation of talks to end the war and release captives.
“Resistance gauging pressure on Israel, supporters amid Gaza war”
In a meeting with members of Parliament on Sunday, Amir Abdollahian said that regional resistance forces are carefully calibrating their response to Israel’s crimes in Gaza, warning that continued Israeli aggression on the besieged territory risks sparking a larger regional conflict.
In a meeting earlier in the day, the foreign minister informed the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee that Israel has been operating without a strategy in its war on Gaza following almost days of aggression, a top Iranian parliamentarian stated on Sunday.
“That comes as the resistance groups are adjusting the pressure on the Zionists and their supporters in a smart fashion and there is a profusion of capacities that have yet to be activated,” Abolfazl Amouei quoted the Iranian foreign minister as saying in the meeting.
According to Amouei, Amir Abdollahian attended the meeting to update MPs on the current events in Gaza and the Foreign Ministry’s attempts to put a halt to Israeli aggression against Palestinians.
The top diplomat also informed Parliament members that global sympathy for Gaza’s oppressed people is rising, putting the regime and its main enabler, the United States, in a perilous position on the subject of Palestine.
In order to persuade the regime to cease its violent attacks on Palestinians, resistance groups in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen have launched strikes on Israeli and U.S. interests in the region.
