WANA (Oct 25) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, has called for an end to the continued impunity granted to Israel by its supporters and justifiers, following the International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory opinion on Palestine.

 

Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for the ministry, wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

 

“The ICJ’s latest opinion on Palestine (22 October) is calling out, once again, the undeniable truth that the Israeli regime continues to be THE TREMENDOUS VIOLATOR of each and every norm of int’l humanitarian law.

 

The Opinion reaffirms that the Israeli regime is under an obligation to ensure the basic needs of the Palestinians who are living under its occupation, including the supplies essential for their survival, and that it must not impede the provision of such supplies.

 

The Court has recalled the obligation under int’l law not to use starvation as a method of warfare.

 

The ICJ has already issued another straightforward opinion reaffirming that the occupation of Palestinian lands is “unlawful” and must end.

 

The Israeli regime has persistently defied all these principles & rules.

 

The Israeli regime is accused, by both ICC and ICJ, of committing the most atrocious crimes of int’l concern, namely WAR CRIMES, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, and Genocide in Gaza.

 

The chronic impunity accorded to Israel by its supporters & apologists must end.”
