Pezeshkian: Zionist crimes on Lebanon and Gaza Strip violate intl. laws and human rights


New York, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed that the Zionist entity, with the support of the US, has violated all international laws and regulations through its crimes on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

This came during at a meeting with Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati in New York on Wednesday on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

‘The Zionist regime has left nothing of the human rights and the international laws and regulations with its United States-backed inhuman crimes,’ Pezeshkian said.

He vehemently condemned the US’s political, financial, and military support for the regime towards perpetration of the atrocities, noting, ‘Were it not for the US’s support, the regime would definitely not be able and dare to take such criminal measures.’

Pezeshkian reminded Muslim countries of their duty to reach out to the oppressed people of Gaza and Lebanon and try to stop the regime’s atrocities in the region.

For his part, Mikati echoed Pezeshkian’s
remarks concerning the Israeli atrocities, saying what was going on in Gaza and Lebanon today marked a departure from humanity and all international rules.

‘Application of civilian equipment towards massacring innocent and ordinary people is a crime that can only be committed by the Zionist regime,’ he added.
