Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has written his second letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres since the outbreak of the Zionist regime’s bloody war on Gaza, saying the international community must get united to prevent another catastrophe.

He described Israel’s deliberate destruction of urban and administrative infrastructures, hospitals, and educational centers as a horrific episode for the international community in the last century.

Coupled with the Zionist regime’s ground invasion of Gaza and the international community’s inaction, this will pave the way for the occurrence of a genocide, Amirabdollahian added.

The Zionist regime waged a devastating war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the regime’s stepped-up violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

The regime’s unrelenting bombardment of Gaza has killed at least 9,922 Palestinians, mostly children and women.

Amirabdollahian also termed Israeli atrocities in Gaza “a war crime”, drawing Guterres’s attention to some of Israel’s flagrant violations of the principles and rules of international law and international humanitarian law during the 75 years of its occupation of Palestinian lands.

He called on the UN chief to denounce the Zionist regime’s violations of international law and take the necessary measures to put an immediate and unconditional end to the aggression and lift the blockade of Gaza so that its citizens can access international humanitarian aid.
