️🇮🇷🇮🇱🇵🇸. Ismail Baka'i, spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry:
One of the issues that really cannot be ignored is the developments taking place in occupied Palestine, especially in Gaza.
In fact, Israel also uses the winter to advance its genocidal campaign against the Palestinians. The catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza offends the conscience of every free-spirited human being.
During the last two or three weeks, a large number of Palestinians, mainly children and women, were killed due to floods, rain and cold. And throughout Gaza, the Palestinian people continue to face all kinds of crimes committed by Israel. The situation in the West Bank is not much better either.
There the attacks on Palestinians and their homes, the demolition of Palestinian homes, extensive arrests and torture in prisons continue. The Palestinian people in Hebron and the West Bank also face all kinds of attacks and restrictions by settlers.
The expression of Palestine's plight is, in fact, a cry for humanity.
The Islamic countries have both a duty and a mission to take practical action, and the entire international community must recognize that the issue of Palestine is not only an Arab, regional or Islamic issue. The issue of Palestine is the issue of modern humanity.
