MEHR: Condemning the deadly Israeli airstrike on the Bureij refugee camp, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said that the US and its allies have sacrificed international peace and human rights for the sake of Israel’s interests.
“It is glaringly evident that the United States, alongside a limited number of countries, has effectively taken hostage the #UnitedNations and the Security Council, prioritizing the interests of the racist and criminal Israeli regime at the expense of international peace, security, and #HumanRights,” Nasser Kan’ani wrote in a post published on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday evening.
Gazan authorities say at least 15 people have been killed in a Thursday Israeli air strike on the Bureij camp, located in the center of the Gaza Strip. A spokesperson for Gaza Civil Defense said the strike hit a residential building, and residents reported scores of people trapped beneath the rubble.
The air strike came as the regime continues relentless attacks that have so far claimed the lives of at least 9,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in the Gaza Strip.
Kan'ani stressed that supporters of the Israeli regime are complicit in its "war crimes" in Gaza. “The culpability of the authorities within these governments is as substantial as that of the Zionist regime in the perpetration of these egregious war crimes in Gaza, necessitating their accountability.”
The senior Iranian diplomat highlighted that the Israeli strike on the Bureij refugee camp, marking the third bombing of a camp in as many days, “vividly showcases the depth of the atrocities and loss of life.”
“The overwhelming majority of countries, governments, and global nations are calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and an end to the wanton and destructive assaults perpetrated by the Zionist regime against the defenseless Gazans.
“Notably, this plea is echoed universally, save for the American government and a select few European governments, persistently engaging in interventions under the false pretext of championing human rights,” Kan’ani said.
Bureij refugee camp situated in central Gaza is home to about 46,000 Palestinian refugees, who are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
