Protesters in Tehran Condemn Israeli Criminal Acts in Gaza, Lebanon (+Photos)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - A group of Tehran residents gathered outside the United Nations office in the Iranian capital early Friday to denounce the genocide and crimes committed by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon.
Demonstrators convened in front of the UN representation in Tehran, carrying miniature shrouds symbolizing the killing of children by Israeli forces in Gaza and Lebanon.
Participants demanded the expulsion of Israel from the United Nations, accusing the regime of committing atrocities against civilians in the region.
The protest, marked by chants and symbolic gestures, highlighted growing calls for international accountability regarding the humanitarian situation in the conflict zones.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, for their involvement in war crimes and crimes against humanity during the Gaza conflict.
The charges include the use of starvation as a method of warfare and attacks on civilians. This unprecedented action against a sitting leader of a major Western ally has elicited strong reactions globally, with Israel and the United States rejecting the ICC's jurisdiction, while other nations and organizations have expressed support for the court's decision.
