“As long as the Zionist regime does not feel real pressure from the international community and is not held accountable for its crimes and receives impunity for its actions, it will not stop this genocide,” Dehghani said in Brussels on Monday.
He was speaking at a joint press conference with ambassadors of the countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to Belgium.
The Iranian ambassador criticized Europe and the United States over their stance on the Gaza war, saying that European and American authorities have adopted double standards and refused to heed their people’s call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The US has acted so biasedly over Israeli crimes in Gaza that some of its allies in the region does not consider Washington qualified for mediation, the Iranian envoy said, adding that Europe is also supporting the Israeli regime’s crimes as it has remained silent on the massacre of Palestinians despite claiming that it defends human rights.
He called on Europe to change its stance and take practical steps to help stop Israeli attacks on Gaza.
