UN Must Take Action to Prevent Israel's Mass Atrocities Against Palestinians in Rafah: Iran FM
News - Middle East: Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says the United Nations must take action to prevent further mass atrocities by the Israeli regime in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza Strip.
In a letter to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Amir-Abdollahian warned against the "devastating" outcomes of Israel's plan to carry out a full-fledged ground invasion of Rafah.
He said an all-out offensive on Rafah would be devastating for the 1.5 million Palestinian people, most of them displaced, who have already been squeezed into the city and are on the edge of survival.
He urged the international community not to let such carnage happen and cautioned that any military offensive on Rafah would undoubtedly be another phase in the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people.
"It is imperative that the United Nations system fulfill its responsibilities in this critical juncture and avert further mass atrocities against the Palestinians who have taken refuge in Rafah," the top Iranian diplomat emphasized.
