Iran has described the boycott of Israeli goods and companies as the easiest but fairly effective mechanism to put an end to the Tel Aviv regime's war crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

“The Zionist regime’s incessant, all-out and lethal raids against the besieged residents of the Gaza Strip and the painful slaughter of its women and children have been going on for 245 days," the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry wrote on the social media platform X on Saturday.

“The most heinous international crimes, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide through mass killing of citizens, women and children, aggression on camps, schools, mosques, hospitals, universities, churches, killing of prisoners, targeted killing of journalists, using man-made starvation and famine as weapons, forced displacement of over one million people in Gaza, and killing international organizations’ staff who are involved in humanitarian affairs,... are part of the war crimes that have been perpetrated by the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip during the past 245 days,” Nasser Kan’ani said.

BDS antagonism toward armed Palestinian resistance

In a move which aims to undermine the Palestinian resistance, the BDS movement has distanced itself from the armed struggle against Zionist oppression.

Kan’ani stated that the responsibility of nations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to support the oppressed Palestinian nation increases in light of the inaction of governments and the United Nations Security Council to stop the occupying Israeli regime's war crimes against Palestinians.

“Imposing sanctions against Zionist goods and companies is the easiest thing to do but is very effective,” the Iranian diplomat pointed out.

Israel unleashed the Gaza onslaught on October 7 after Hamas-led Palestinian resistance groups carried out Operation al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

The Tel Aviv regime has so far killed at least 36,801 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 83,680 others, according to the Gaza-based health ministry.

The occupying entity has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
