Int’l Bodies Must Act to Stop Israeli Crimes: Iranian President


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi reminded international organizations of their responsibility to tackle the crisis in the Gaza Strip, which is tormented by the Zionist regime’s atrocities.

Addressing a cabinet session on Wednesday, Raisi strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s crimes against the people of Gaza.

“The Zionists are committing crimes against humanity before the eyes of the world. All international organizations and institutions must fulfill their duties in this regard without any exception and discrimination,” he underlined.

The Israeli regime has been pounding the Gaza Strip for a fifth day, killing at least 1,055 Palestinians.

Officials in Gaza say the enclave is facing an imminent humanitarian catastrophe with the power plant shutting down completely within hours due to the depletion of fuel.

The Zionist regime has pledged to launch a ground offensive in Gaza following Hamas’s surprise Al-Aqsa Storm operation.
