Iran, Pakistan Rap Forced Displacement of Gazans

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and his Pakistani counterpart Jalil Abbas Jilani talked about the latest developments in Palestine and the intensified Israeli attacks against civilians in Gaza in a telephone conversation on Monday.

Amirabdollahian thanked the Pakistani diplomat for his stance on the ongoing events in Palestine, including Gaza, saying the child-killing Israeli regime has turned to massacring children and civilians because it is unable to counter the resistance.

The Iranian foreign minister reiterated that the Zionist regime’s attempt to force the people in Gaza to relocate is another crime by Tel Aviv.

“Time is running out for political solutions and the unavoidable stage of possible expansion of the war on other fronts is approaching,” he warned.

For his part, the Pakistani foreign minister expressed his readiness to participate in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s Executive Council meeting.

He said the OIC member states should make joint efforts in order to pave the way for an immediate ceasefire between the warring parties and open communication corridors to Gaza.

Jilani added that forcing Palestinians to move from the northern areas of Gaza to the south is an example of war crime and genocide against the Palestinian nation.

The defensive Palestinian action should never be compared to the occupational measures by the Zionist regime, the top Pakistani diplomat stated, saying the Palestinian people have the right to decide their own fate according to international law and the United Nations Security Council resolutions.

The Israeli regime has been pounding the Gaza Strip for ten days. More than 2,800 Palestinians have been killed and around 10,000 wounded in the Israeli airstrikes.

The WHO has warned there are only “24 hours of water, electricity and fuel left” in the besieged Gaza Strip.
