Hossein Amir Abdollahian wrote a letter to the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday, warning about the occurrence of a great human catastrophe in occupied Palestine.
In continuation of the actions and consultations of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the recent developments in occupied Palestine and the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the oppressed Palestinian people, Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian wrote a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres regarding the actions of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people.
In his letter, the Iranian foreign minister pointed to the suffering of the Palestinian nation at the hands of the Zionist Israeli regime over the past seven decades, blaming also the Western countries led by the United States for the Palestinian nation’s dire situation.
“During these seven decades, the Zionist occupying regime without paying the slightest attention to the laws and norms of international law, including international humanitarian law and human rights, benefitting from all-out support of the United States of America and the West, which protect this regime against any legal charges and punishment, has committed the most heinous war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of genocide against the oppressed people of Palestine,” he noted.
Elsewhere in his letter, the top Iranian diplomat asserted that the Palestinian nation has the right to self-defence against the occupying regime in accordance with the UN Charter and international law.
He further pointed to the Saturday launched Al-Aqsa Storm Operation by the Palestinian resistance group and described the Hamas-led military action as a natural reaction of the Palestinian people in defense of their most basic rights.
Amir-Abdollahian further warned against the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians by the Zionist regime in the battle against Gaza and warned against the dangers of laying full sedge around the Gaza Strip by cutting water supply and humanitarian aid.
In conclusion, Amir-Abdollahian emphasized once again that the only solution to the Palestinian issue is to end the occupation and recognize the right of the oppressed Palestinian people to self-determination of their destiny and realize the formation of an independent Palestinian state in all Palestinian lands with holy Quds as its capital.
