Baghaie explains the disgraceful aspects of UK Foreign Secretary’s remarks

Pars Today - The spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, described the British Foreign Secretary’s statements denying the genocide in Gaza as extremely horrific and inhumane.

Esmaeil Baghaie emphasized: The British Foreign Secretary’s statements denying the genocide in Gaza are in line with the policy of the British government to continue sending deadly weapons and providing political support to the racist and genocidal regime, which has made the British government an accomplice and partner in Israel's crimes.

According to Pars Today, Baghaie added: This stance is a form of satisfaction with the genocide, which is extremely horrific and inhumane, and reminiscent of the deep-rooted colonial mentality that this time manifests itself in the form of systematic racial discrimination against Palestinians and Islamophobia in Europe.

Baghaie wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday night: 

“The UN Special Committee's finding that  Israel’s war on #Gaza is #genocide is no less than a reconfirmation of what has already been repeatedly said by other authoritative UN bodies such as SR @FranceskAlbs Albanese and warned by ICJ and ICC. What is new though, is UK's outrageous denial of an ongoing ostentatious genocide.”

He added: In 'Anatomy of a Genocide' (March 2024), UN Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestine stressed that "The Israeli genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza is an escalatory stage of a long-standing settler colonial process of erasure.", and in  'Genocide as Colonial Erasure' (October 2024) she highlighted that "As the world watches the first live-streamed settler-colonial genocide, only justice can heal the wounds that political expedience has allowed to fester."

Recently, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said that the Zionist regime is not committing genocide in Gaza, because the number of people killed in its attacks does not reach millions!
Lammy told the British Parliament: "Terms like genocide are mainly used when millions of people have lost their lives in crises like Rwanda and World War II, and the way it is used now undermines its seriousness."
