Displacing people of Gaza, clear example of ethnic cleansing: Iran's deputy FM
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani has called for an immediate end to the displacement of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, saying the practice is a clear example of “ethnic cleansing.”
Bagheri Kani made the remarks during a meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa in Tokyo on Monday, during which they discussed bilateral ties, as well as international and regional issues.
The Iranian official further called on the international community to use whatever means at their disposal to end the Israeli regime’s war crimes and genocide in Gaza.
He also urged Japan and international parties to provide humanitarian assistance to Gazans, ease the flow of aid, and fight the forced displacement of the people living in the besieged territory.
The Japanese foreign minister, for her part, emphasized the need to send humanitarian aid to Gaza immediately and asked for the cooperation of the international community to stop the crisis and prevent further spread of the war in the region.
The two sides also underlined the importance of cooperation to ensure international security.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long violence against Palestinians.
Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed over 19,400 Palestinians and injured more than 52,000 others.
Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under the rubble in Gaza, which is under “complete siege” by Israel.
