IRAN TO UN SECURITY COUNCIL: MAKE ISRAEL PAY FOR ITS CRIMES

Iran’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Majid Takht Ravanchi said that the UN Security Council (UNSC) should not remain indifferent to the atrocious attacks against Palestinians.

“Continuous attacks on Palestine by Israeli regime have resulted in death & injury of many innocent Palestinians,” Ravanchi wrote on his Twitter account. He described the Israeli regime as apartheid, adding: “The racist nature of the Apartheid regime means injustice will prevail.”

“UNSC cannot remain indifferent to the atrocities, and US should stop shielding Israel at UN,” Ravanchi stressed. The Israeli regime has carried out several attacks on Gaza in recent days, killing more than 30 Palestinians and injuring 200 others, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.

The attacks have been widely criticized by many countries, international organizations, and human rights entities, but the United States has put a brake on a UNSC statement. US officials, including Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, deny Palestinians’ right to self-defense while recognizing the same for the Israeli regime.
