Iran diplomat denounces Western ambassadors’ silence on massacre of Gaza women
A senior Iranian Foreign Ministry official has censured the hypocrisy of some foreign ambassadors to Tehran, saying their silence on Israeli massacre of Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip belies their expression of support for women’s rights.
In social media post on Sunday, Rasoul Mousavi, director general of the South Asian affairs department at Iran’s Foreign Ministry, pointed to the diplomats’ messages on the occasion of the International Women’s Day (March 8), asking, “Do you really expect us to believe that there is sincerity in your words because you speak Persian?”
“If you are talking about women’s rights, why aren’t you saying a word about the 9,000 women killed in Gaza by the Zionists?” Mousavi further asked.
It comes as the Israeli regime’s genocidal war on Gaza continues to claim more lives, especially those of women and children, with UN Women data showing that 9,000 Palestinian women have been so far killed by the Israeli military in the besieged territory.
It is estimated that at the current rate of attacks against the defenseless people, the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza is killing each day an average of 63 innocent Palestinian women, of whom about half (37 women) are mothers.
At least 31,112 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed and 72,760 wounded since the Israeli regime launched the war on Gaza on October 7.
