Iran Presses for EU’s Forceful Action on Gaza Crisis
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian foreign minister urged the European Union to take more serious steps to end the Israeli regime’s onslaught against the Gaza Strip.
Hossein Amirabdollahian on Sunday sent a letter to Josep Borrell, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
In the letter, the Iranian diplomat highlighted the recent positions of the European side on Gaza, emphasizing the urgent need to establish a lasting ceasefire, halt the massacre of civilians in Gaza, and adhere to international humanitarian law.
He also touched upon the urgent delivery of aid to the displaced people of Gaza, and appreciated the EU official’s stance on declaring settlement construction as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law while condemning the settlers' violence in the West Bank, the Foreign Ministry’s website reported.
Amirabdollahian called on the EU official to take more effective steps to permanently cease the Zionist regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip, completely lift the blockade, and end the occupation.
About 18,000 Palestinians have been killed and 49,500 injured in Israeli bombardment of Gaza since October 7, including 297 in the past 24 hours alone.
