Governments supporting the Israeli regime are the main cause of its impunity, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman said on Thursday, condemning the latest massacre of over 90 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Esmaeil Baghaei stressed that those governments must be held “accountable before the conscience of humanity” for shielding the Tel Aviv regime from justice.

“Governments backing the occupying regime are chiefly responsible for its impunity in the face of blatant violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, and must be held accountable before the conscience of humanity,” he said.

Baghaei also condemned the continued blockade of the Gaza Strip and the denial of food, water, and medicine to its oppressed population, which has led to the slow death of hundreds.

The foreign ministry spokesperson also denounced the continued desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the killing of Palestinian youths by Israeli settlers and regime authorities.

Israeli regime continues its genocidal war by launching fresh airstrikes on Gaza.

Baghaei noted that in the course of just 12 hours, more than 60 Palestinians - including many children - have been killed in Israeli attacks on Thursday.

He also slammed as “shameful and indefensible” the ongoing inaction of international bodies, particularly the United Nations Security Council, the Human Rights Council, and the International Committee of the Red Cross, despite their clear mandates to respond to gross human rights and humanitarian violations.

Expressing outrage at the UN Security Council’s continued failure to act on Israel’s unprecedented crimes in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, Baghaei held the United States and other Western supporters of the Zionist regime, especially Britain, Germany, and France, complicit in such horrific crimes.

His comments came after Israeli troops massacred some 100 Palestinians in the war-torn Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, after seven regime soldiers were killed in the southern part of the besieged territory in an ambush.

Earlier in the day, Israel’s far-right minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, denounced humanitarian aid allowed into Gaza as “an absolute disgrace,” calling for “not a temporary halt to ‘humanitarian’ aid, but a complete stop.”
