Tehran, YJC. Rouhani says UN Security Council inertia regarding Gaza makes Israel more wanton.
Hassan Rouhani speaking to the NAM Palestine Committee
convening on Gaza in Tehran on Monday said "I have to regret to say that in the
last weeks during Ramadan the Zionist regime has violated human and
international principals, human rights and international humanitarian rights in
special, by using the most modern weapons in an unjust war to subject the land
of Palestine and the Gaza Strip to its severest and most ruthless attacks.”
"Under such circumstances, a conspicuous lethargy, sort of
passive reaction by the international community, the UN Security Council in
particular, in pressurizing the Zionist regime to stop its anti-humanitarian
crimes has made the regime bold enough to intercept humanitarian aids from food
to drugs and medical equipments to Gaza,” Rouhani maintained.
The President stated that to show swift reaction to such
blatant violations is the reason for the NAM Palestine Committee to convene,
adding "The Non-Aligned Movement enjoys a lot of power as an international
foundation. It can, and it should, work toward real peace and social justice in
order to meet the undeniable rights of the oppressed Palestinian nation.”
