Iran has denounced Israel’s recent decision to occupy Gaza City as part of a broader scheme by the usurping entity to complete the genocide of Palestinians and erase the identity and existence of Palestine.
In a statement released on Saturday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said the new Israeli plan for Gaza breaches international law.
This decision constitutes a grave violation of international law and a deliberate attempt to expand occupation and impose new realities across the occupied Palestinian territories by force and military aggression.
Undoubtedly, the renewed displacement of Palestinians is categorically condemned.
Nearly two years into Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli security cabinet voted on Friday for the occupation plan, which means more bloodshed in Gaza and forcible displacement of exhausted and starving Palestinians.
It was initiated and pushed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the brutal Gaza onslaught that has killed at least 61,369 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 152,850 others since October 2023.
The Hamas resistance group called Israel’s expansionist plan a war crime, stressing that Palestinians would resist any occupation or aggressive force.
It also warned that Netanyahu is sacrificing Israeli captives to serve his personal interests and extremist ideological agenda.
Additionally, in its statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Israel’s continued massacres and acts of genocide against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank, as well as the regime’s assaults on Islamic holy sites in the city of al-Quds.
It also underlined the need for an immediate cessation of Israeli attacks on Gaza, the unconditional delivery of humanitarian aid to the blockaded Palestinian territory, guaranteed freedom of action for relief organizations in carrying out humanitarian missions, support for regional and international efforts to achieve a full ceasefire, the withdrawal of occupying forces, a prisoners exchange, and the implementation of reconstruction plans.
It further noted that the international community bears responsibility to halt Israel’s genocide in Gaza and provide immediate assistance to the oppressed Palestinians.
Meanwhile, the ministry held Israel responsible for “heinous crimes and unprecedented humanitarian catastrophes in Gaza, given the International Criminal Court (ICC)’s arrest warrants for the regime’s officials, and the International Court of Justice (ICJ)’s ruling that obliges Tel Aviv to prevent acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The international community, particularly the UN Security Council and other international legal and human rights bodies, are expected to fulfill their legal and moral obligations, to pave the way for prosecuting and punishing the Zionist criminals, and to end the regime’s long-standing impunity.
The ministry emphasized that the realization of the rights of the Palestinian people, most notably their fundamental right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent and unified Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital, is both a legal and moral necessity.
It further reiterated the Islamic Republic’s support for the Palestinian people’s right to complete liberation from occupation, apartheid, and colonialism, highlighting Tehran’s initiative for a referendum among the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine, including Muslims, Christians, and Jews, to determine their fate and the ruling political system.

This is their aim. Their holocaust cabinet of ZioNazis approved to take over Gaza and that means even ethically cleansing Gazans. Orange-covid-assassin-Zionist-Islamophobic is on board this plot.
Apartheid Israel, built on the Bones and graves of Palestinians.
Gaza atrocity made me to understand hypocrisy. The United States is, I just failed to find the appropriate word.
Humans weren’t designed to live in large cities. Living in a large city is a stress factor. We’re wired , genetically , to live in much smaller communities/pods, but large cities is where all the money flows. So in the end, what do we prioritize – mental health vs greed? It’s as if the governments have always pushed people to relocate from villages to cities. Alas, cities like NYC and Tokyo make you feel more lonely/depressed … not to mention that a city lifestyle contributes to a decay of family values. Those who commit violent crimes oftentimes suffer from mental… Read more »
The Jewish supremacist Mafia that controls every institution designed to safeguard our freedoms push for every sort of «law» that make it impossible for small family farmers to exist from water restrictions in areas where water is abundant, to the inheritance tax making it prohibitive to pass on the family farm to your descendants, to having to declare your farm a business and your own children employees with complete documentation on occupational health and safety, just for them to be able to pick up some eggs from the chicken coop.
