TEHRAN - Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi on Tuesday said that the Zionist regime’s killing of innocent Palestinian women and children will spell the end of the occupying entity.
Raisi made the remarks at the Iranian parliament, as the brutal Zionist war on the Gaza Strip has killed almost 16,000 Palestinians, 70 percent of them women and children, over the past two months.
“The cruelty against the oppressed and powerful people of Palestine is a source of regret for all of us and humanity,” he said.
“We believe that the martyrdom of Palestinian women and children will end the fake Zionist regime and that we will witness the victory of Palestinians as well as the elimination of Israelis.”
The Iranian chief executive also expressed dismay at the support provided by the self-proclaimed human rights advocates, the U.S. and the Western countries, for the Zionist genocide of the Palestinian people.
“It is more unfortunate that the international organizations and institutions, which are responsible for defending the oppressed, have lost their efficiency in the face of the global arrogance and the U.S. power,” he added.
“However, we are not disappointed. We believe that nations have stood up today … for human rights, the implementation of justice and a new world order.”
The director general of Gaza’s Health Ministry has voiced concerns that the same massacres that happened in the al-Shifa and Indonesia hospitals at the hands of the Zionist regime would also happen in the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
According to the Palestinian Shehab news agency, Munir Al-Bursh warned of the critical condition at the Kamal Adwan Hospital, saying there are currently 108 martyrs and dozens of wounded in the hospital.
“We fear a massacre inside Kamal Adwan Hospital, as happened in al-Shifa Hospital and the Indonesian Hospital,” he said.
He also said the electricity supply to the hospital has been cut off while more than 7,000 displaced people are sheltering inside.
According to Al-Bursh, only four hospitals are active in northern Gaza and 55 ambulances are out of service.
The Zionist regime has ramped up its offensives across the Gaza Strip, including near hospitals and in the south of the besieged territory.
Israel waged the bloody war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 15,899 Palestinians, injured 42,000 others, and left vast swathes of Gaza in ruins.
It has also imposed a “complete siege” on the Palestinian territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to more than two million people living there.
