\r\n\tIranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has blasted Israel for committing a genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza as the regime ramps up its brutal offensive against the Palestinians.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tOn Thursday, Zarif voiced deep regret over the relentless carnage of Gazans at the hands of the Tel Aviv regime and said “under any international rule … these [Israeli] actions cannot be considered anything other than genocide, crimes against humanity and international crime.”<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tZarif also described the Israeli onslaught against women and children in Gaza as “a flagrant example of war crimes,” and sharply criticized Muslim countries for remaining tight-lipped in the face of the regime’s brutalities.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tMuslim nations should set aside their differences and urge the international community to adopt serious measures to counter Israeli atrocities, added the top Iranian diplomat.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tMore than 800 people have so far been killed and over 5,000 others wounded since the Israeli military first launched its offensive on the Palestinian enclave on July 8.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tThe UN said in a report on July 23 on the ongoing Israeli aerial and ground assaults on the impoverished Gaza Strip have claimed the life of at least one Palestinian child every hour over the past couple of days.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tOn Wednesday, following a request by Palestine the United Nations Human Rights Council held an emergency meeting and voted to launch an inquiry into the Israeli violations of international laws in its bloody offensive on Gaza under a draft resolution.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n\tUN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has said Tel Aviv’s measures in its fresh wave of attacks on Gaza could amount to “war crimes.”<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2014-07-25 14:34:13","content_date_finish":"2014-07-25 14:34:13","content_date_register":"2014-07-25 14:34:13","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"122827","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"3721945230","attach_date_register":"2014-07-25 14:34:16","attach_id":"121087","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"390","attach_img_height":"250","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"109","visit_date_last":"2025-05-10 15:00:27","attach_title":"Israel on genocide in Gaza","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
