Iran has called upon the international community to hold Israel accountable for its incessant crimes and human rights violations against the Palestinian nation, emphasizing that collective action would prevent the regime from committing more war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations said in a statement on Monday that Palestinians have long been victims of gross, systematic, and rampant violations of human rights and humanitarian law by the Tel Aviv regime.
According to Press TV, the mission pointed to the Israeli force’s use of live ammunition against civilians as an example of crimes against humanity, denouncing the “unwavering support” of the United States for the Israeli regime’s heinous acts over the past decades.
“The dictatorial Israeli regime also violates freedom of expression by intimidating, arresting and incarcerating journalists covering human rights abuses of Palestinians,” the statement read.
The mission also referred to the desperate plight of Palestinians living in the Israeli-besieged Gaza Strip, stating that a complete blockade has been in effect against residents of the coastal enclave for more than 14 years amid the apathy and silence of so-called advocates of human rights.
It noted that the brutal siege has prevented Gazans from acquiring their most basic and essential needs, and created a major obstacle that medical officials in the blockaded Strip have had to face in their COVID-19 response.
The mission said the international community must hold Israel accountable for its never-ending horrific crimes, stressing that such a collective measure would possibly stop the regime from perpetrating more war crimes and crimes against humanity.
It finally urged comprehensive restrictions to be slapped against any company that would contribute to Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestinian lands.
