(MENAFN) The Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations in New York Amir Saied Iravani has talked over the UN Security Council on the situation in conquered Palestinian lands, stating that the situation there became worse.
“The situation in occupied Palestine territories has deteriorated. The UN reports indicate that the year 2022 has been the deadliest year for the Palestinian people since 2006,” Iravani mourned.
He further said, “The Israeli Regime has persisted with its oppressive, expansionist, and apartheid practices as well as systematic violation of the human rights of Palestinians through killing innocent people, including women and children, stealing and demolishing the property of the Palestinian people, and forcibly evicting them from their homes. Today, Gaza has become the world's largest prison, and the voice of the oppressed people of Gaza is silenced. Many people, including women, and children face severe deprivation and violations of their basic rights. This is a crime against humanity, a violation of all international laws and norms, and a serious threat to international peace and security.”
Ambassador Iravani added, “For 74 years, such brutal crimes and atrocities have been committed against the Palestinian people without ceasing, and neither the occupation has ended, nor has the occupier and apartheid regime faced any consequences. Today, the Palestinian people need effective support and decisive action from Security Council to stop the aggressor and end the occupation, not its sympathy. The Israeli regime ignores and violates brazenly all UN resolutions, including the Security Council resolutions.”
The Iranian ambassador went on to condemn the UN body’s silence on Palestine, claiming, “Due to the Security Council's silence, all UN resolutions from the past several decades have remained on paper only while we continue to witness more atrocities committed against Palestinians by such a despicable regime. This regime is fully aware that, due to consistent support and a cart de Blanche from one permanent member of the Security Council, it will not be held accountable by the international community. Members of the Security Council must consider whether any UN resolutions, particularly those urging an end to the occupation, settlement expansions, or blockade of Gaza, have been implemented.”
