Iranian Foreign Ministry statement in support of the South African action against the Zionist regime at the International Court of Justice
Three months have passed since the Zionist regime launched a brutal all-out war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and also against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Three months have passed since the Zionist regime launched a brutal all-out war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and also against Palestinians in the West Bank. During the period, the Zionist regime, while enjoying all-out, unlimited and unconditional support by spesific governments, has committed all types of crimes specified in international conventions against the oppressed people of Palestine and these atrocities are continuing. The Islamic Republic of Iran once again strongly condemns the war crimes and the genocide by the apartheid Zionist regime against the Palestinian people and reaffirms its support for the approach of the resistance as a liberating move and it also supports the legitimate and internationally recognized right of the Palestinians to fight occupation. The Islamic Republic of Iran once again underlines the need for the international bodies such as the UN Security Council to create effective deterrence against the Zionist regime and put an end to the regime's attacks against Gaza. The Islamic Republic also reiterates its policy and view regarding the Zionist regime as a fake and illegitimate entity, and throws its full support behind the move by the South African government at the International Court of Justice in light of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948. The Islamic Republic of Iran also hails the action of the South African government as a responsible, courageous and honorable move in keeping with international law and in support of the Palestinian people and it calls on the international community to take decisive action to hold the perpetrators of the crimes to account.
