TEHRAN – Iran says the occupying regime of Israel is pursuing “sinister and racist” plots to expand the scale of killing and crimes across Palestine and violate Islamic sanctities.
In a statement on Thursday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani lambasted Israel’s onslaught on the occupied West Bank, calling on the international community to take immediate action to end the regime’s genocide against the people of Palestine.
He said Israel’s attack on the Palestinian cities and camps in north of the West Bank, the destruction of urban infrastructure and even the armed and violent entry into medical centers and hospitals are in line with the regime’s continuation of the genocide in the Gaza Strip.
They all “indicate the Zionist regime’s intention to expand the scope of killing and crime against Palestinian citizens,” the spokesman added.
He said Israel’s violation of the sanctities of Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque in recent days and revelation of the cabinet’s provocative plots “clearly show the regime’s ominous and racist plots against the entire geography of Palestine, the Palestinian citizens as well as the Islamic sanctities of this holy land.”
Kan’ani called on international bodies, especially the United Nations Security Council, to abandon the approach of inaction in the face of Israel’s flagrant violation of international law.
World bodies are required to fulfill their legal responsibilities and take a swift and effective action to stop the genocide of the Palestinian people by the child-killing Israeli regime, he said.
Kan’ani also hailed the brave resistance of the Palestinian people and resistance groups in the face of the killing machine of the criminal Israeli regime in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
In a statement on Wednesday, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said he is “deeply concerned” over Israel’s all-out military assault on the occupied West Bank, calling for a swift end to the aggression in the Palestinian territory.
