Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei Hamaneh strongly condemned the Zionist regime’s repeated encroachment on Syrian infrastructure and the occupation of other parts of the Syrian Golan.
Baghaei condemned the Zionist regime’s repeated encroachment on Syrian infrastructure over the past two days and the occupation of other parts of the Syrian Golan, and condemned the supporting the regime by Western countries and their silence and inaction against this clear violation of the law, which the Zionist regime considers as confirmation of its aggressive actions.
Referring to the action of the Zionist regime in the military attack on Syrian territory – in a situation where the Syrian people are facing changes caused by the change of the regime – Baghaei called this act of aggression a clear violation of the UN Charter and demanded an immediate response from the UN Security Council to stop the aggression and holding the occupying regime accountable.
Baghaei warned that the Israeli regime is exploiting the situation in Syria to expand its genocidal campaign against Palestinians.
“These days they are abusing the complicated situation in #Syria for ever-expanding their genocidal campaign in #Palestine,” Baghaei wrote in a message on social media platform X on Monday to mark the anniversary of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which was adopted on December 9, 1948.
Citing UN Special Rapporteur for Palestine Francesca Albanese, Baghaei noted that the Israeli regime is founded on the goal of erasing Palestinians and that its entire political system is directed towards that objective.
“Genocide is defined as a specific set of acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group,” he said.
“It is high time that the int’l community stood up in support of humanity and put an end to this horrific century-long genocide,” he said.
Baghaei pointed out that the Israeli regime has defied all six provisional measures by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ruled early this year that Israel must prevent any acts contrary to the Genocide Convention.
