WANA (Apr 06) – The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly criticized what he described as Europe‘s leniency toward Israel, following global calls for accountability over crimes committed in Gaza.

 

In a post on the social media platform X, Esmail Baghaei wrote:

 

“The International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli regime’s officials reflects the widespread global outrage over genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, as well as an overwhelming demand to uphold International law & end impunity for atrocity crimes against Palestinians.”

 

He added: “Yet, by appeasing Israeli regime, Europe is compromising its moral credibility and placing itself on the wrong side of a defining historical moment.

 

It indeed dishonours the ‘rule of law’, betrays justice and re-enforces the impunity with all its lethal consequences for the innocent victims & the whole humanity.”

 

“This,” he concluded, “is truly ‘normalization of lawlessness’ and ‘banalization of atrocity’.”
