The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has called on the international community to stop Israel from repeating its Gaza genocide against Palestinians now in the occupied West Bank, where the regime has intensified its raids.
“Despite the ceasefire in Gaza, the [Israeli] crimes and killings continue in the West Bank. As human rights rapporteurs warned, it seems that the crime of genocide is going to be repeated in the West Bank,” he said at a news conference on Monday.
Esmaeil Baghaei called on the international community to take “a serious action” to prevent the repetition of the Gaza genocide in the West Bank.
“The international community should not allow the normalization of killing," he said.
Commenting on an anti-Israel alliance recently formed in the Netherlands, Baghaei reiterated the Islamic Republic’s support for any initiative aimed at stopping the Israeli crimes, Press TV reported.
“The main goal [of this alliance] is to end the impunity of the Zionist regime for the genocide in Gaza," he said.
He denounced the West's support for Israel in the Gaza war through supplying lethal weapons, noting that the Israeli leaders must be tried for the crimes committed by the regime.
On Friday, representatives from South Africa, Malaysia, Namibia, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Senegal, Honduras and Belize announced the formation of The Hague Group to end the Israeli occupation and coordinate legal, diplomatic and economic measures against Israel’s violations of international law.
Among its objectives, the group aims to prevent the supply of weapons to Israel, which could be used in committing crimes against Palestinians.
