TEHRAN – The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry has condemned the severe and brutal actions of the Israeli military against Palestinians in Gaza, describing them as "unspeakable" and stressing that remaining silent on these atrocities is against the conscience of humanity.

“The pain and suffering inflicted on Palestine and the residents of the Gaza Strip are beyond words,” Nasser Kanaani wrote in a post on his official X account on Tuesday.

Kanaani strongly criticized the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden and other Western supporters of the Israeli regime amid the ongoing violence in Gaza, asserting that they are as culpable as the occupying Zionist entity.

“Silence and inaction in the face of these crimes and brutality are against humanitarian and moral responsibility and are condemned by the conscience of humanity and divine judgment,” Kanaani emphasized.

The conflict in Gaza has led to devastating losses, with Israeli actions since October 7 resulting in the deaths of at least 37,925 Palestinians, primarily women and children, and injuring 87,141 others.

Despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire, Israel's ongoing actions in the besieged enclave have drawn widespread global condemnation.

UN agencies warn that over one million Palestinians in Gaza could face severe starvation by mid-July as the hunger crisis worsens due to Israel's continued blockade of humanitarian aid.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has highlighted the dire and chaotic conditions in Gaza, describing the situation as "total lawlessness."

More than eight months into the conflict, large areas of Gaza lie in ruins, with a crippling blockade affecting the supply of food, clean water, and medicine.

Thousands of Palestinians are fleeing their homes in Gaza’s Khan Younis as Israeli forces pound the area with bombs and artillery fire after issuing a new evacuation order for the embattled southern city.

The Israeli military's newly declared evacuation zone in Khan Younis encompasses an area where 250,000 people live, according to Sam Rose, planning director at the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
