Iran's UN Representative Denounces Israeli Regime's Gaza Displacement Efforts
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Iran's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva Mahdi Aliabadi, strongly denounced the Israeli regime's actions aimed at displacing and forcibly evacuating the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.
He made these remarks during a meeting of the Permanent Committee of the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
"These (the Israeli regime's) ruthless attacks [on Gaza] will lead to a new displacement crisis. The occupiers have resolved to [forcibly] evacuate Gaza's population, [something] which serves as another example of crime against humanity by the Zionist regime," Aliabadi stated,.
These comments were made in the context of the ongoing brutal conflict initiated by the Israeli regime against the Gaza Strip on October 7. This conflict has tragically claimed the lives of nearly 9,061 individuals, including 3,700 children and more than 2,300 women.
The Israeli regime's war in Gaza began after Gaza's resistance groups conducted al-Aqsa Storm operation, one of their most significant operations against the occupying entity in years, in response to the regime's long-standing campaign of violence and destruction against Palestinians.
"The [IOM's] members cannot remain indifferent towards this crisis, and simply bear witness to the formation of a new crisis of displacement and migration. It is necessary that the organization adopts a strong and decisive position concerning whatever measure that leads to the forcible evacuation of [Gaza's] population," Aliabadi emphasized.
The envoy called on the international community to seriously consider revoking the Israeli regime's membership in the IOM.
