The Iranian ambassador to the UN has slammed the rising wave of Israeli violence against Palestinians, calling on the international community to stop the Tel Aviv regime’s aggression and occupation of Palestinian territories.
Speaking at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Thursday, Gholam Ali Khoshrou held Israel responsible for the ongoing tensions in Palestine, saying the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) believes “the time has come for ending the occupation [of Palestinian lands] by Zionists.”
The Iranian envoy, whose country currently holds the rotating presidency of NAM, denounced Tel Aviv as the source of “instability, despair and rage in the Middle East,” adding that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands as well as the failure to punish the regime for its crimes against the oppressed nation pose a “threat to world peace.”
