Iran urges global action against Israel’s inhuman practices

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has condemned the Israeli military’s two-day aggression in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, calling on the international community to take immediate action to end the regime’s new wave of systematic violence against Palestinians.

Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks in a Thursday meeting with a Palestinian delegation led by Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh on the sides of a ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in the Azerbaijani capital city of Baku.

The top diplomat underscored the need for immediate and effective measures from the international community, especially the United Nations, to deal with the inhumane practices of the Israeli regime.

The illegal Zionist entity launched the military aggression against Jenin in the early hours of Monday morning, with more than 1,000 troops to purportedly damage the resistance “infrastructure” in the city and the refugee camp that it hosts.

At least 12 Palestinians were martyred and one Israeli trooper was killed in the confrontation, which marked Palestinian resistance groups putting up a strong fight against the invading troops and forcing them to retreat after less than two days.

Zionist regime finally pulled back its troops from Jenin on Tuesday evening, following a 44-hour-long incursion.

The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry pointed to the trail of destruction carried out by Israeli forces in Jenin, demanding the formation of a fact-finding mission to probe the Israeli atrocities. 

Nasser Kan’ani also questioned whether the United States and certain European countries would consent to a fact-finding team on the deadly Jenin attacks.

“Twelve martyrs, 140 wounded, complete destruction of water and electricity networks, complete destruction of 300 houses and damage to some 500 others, and destruction of streets and shops are the upshot of the Zionist army's insane campaign in the refugee camp of Jenin city.”

“Will (the United States of) America and Europe demand the formation of a fact-finding committee from the [UN] Human Rights Council?” Kan’ani asked.
