‘Mockery of intl. law’: Iran says Israel subverting human values through West’s dual approach
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the West’s dual policies have encouraged the Israeli regime to violate international law and disregard common human values in the Gaza Strip.
In a post on his Instagram on Saturday, Araghchi gave a brief account of the first day of his diplomatic meetings on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
He said the “humanitarian situation in Gaza is very horrible” and called on the international community and the Security Council to deal with this situation.
In his meetings, Araghchi said, “I emphasized the necessity of confronting the Zionist regime's warmongering policies in West Asia as a serious and urgent threat to international security.”
“The interesting point was that everyone in the meetings admitted the failure of the Zionists’ sinister policies,” he added.
Araghchi met with the foreign ministers of Kuwait, Cuba and Bahrain, the sides discussed regional and international developments and stressed the need to boost bilateral cooperation and relations.
The top Iranian diplomat had also meetings with the UN special envoy for Syria, the Secretary General of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council, the UN Secretary General's representative for humanitarian aid to Gaza and the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
The foreign minister emphasized that Iran will continue its multifaceted diplomacy and consultations to pursue national interests and attract the attention of the international community to contain Israel’s machine of crime and killing in the region.
Araghchi’s remarks came amid the regime’s ongoing genocidal war against the Gaza Strip and escalated attacks across the occupied West Bank as well as its intensified deadly aggression against Lebanon.
At least 22 people, including 13 children, six women, and a three-month-old baby, were killed after Israel’s military forces once again attacked the Zeitoun School in the eastern part of Gaza City sheltering displaced Palestinians on Saturday.
More than 30 people have also been wounded, including several who suffered severe burns.
At least 41,431 Palestinians, mostly children and women, have been killed and 95,818 people wounded in the war that Israel began on October 7, 2023, following a retaliatory operation by the Palestinian territory’s resistance movements.
