TEHRAN -- Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi said Sunday a “just world order” will emerge from the blood of the Palestinian people who are the target of a genocidal war being waged by the occupying regime of Israel.
Addressing a gathering of people in Tehran’s Shahriar County, Raisi said people across the world hold hatred toward the Zionist regime and are disappointed at the United Nations and its Security Council, which are no longer effective in preventing Israeli atrocities against Palestinians.
“Today, people feel that they should seek the establishment of a just world order,” he said.
“A just world order will definitely be formed through the will of nations and the pure blood of the Palestinians.”
The president also said the resilience of the people of Gaza is a lesson to the entire world to resist and declare hatred toward the enemies of humanity.
“The pure blood of 5,000 Palestinian children will cause divine revenge to hit today’s pharaohs and end their rule,” he said.
On Saturday night, Iran strongly condemned Israeli airstrikes on UN-run schools in the northern Gaza Strip, which martyred dozens of people, including children.
“Unfortunately, the occupying Zionist regime is ruthlessly and viciously perpetrating new war crimes and carnages on a daily basis against Palestinian women and children, who have taken refuge in houses, shelters and temporary accommodation centers, in light of the inaction of world states and international bodies,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said.
He called upon the international community, particularly the Muslim world, to take on their responsibilities and adopt immediate and deterrent actions in the face of the naked and premeditated genocide of the criminal Israeli regime against the defenseless Palestinian people.
At least 50 people were martyred in Israeli air raids on the Al-Fakhoora School, run by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), in the Jabalia refugee camp, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said.
Several people were also martyred and hundreds of others injured in a separate attack on another school in Tal al-Zaatar neighborhood.
Hundreds of people are believed to have taken shelter at both schools from barbaric Israeli airstrikes.
“Shelters are a place for safety. Schools are a place for learning. Tragic news of the children, women and men killed while sheltering at Al-Fakhouri school in northern Gaza. Civilians cannot and should not have to bear this any longer,” UN relief chief Martin Griffiths said in reaction to the Israeli air raids.
