Yes vote to UNGA resolution on Gaza represents no policy change: Iran

New York, IRNA - Iran’s mission to the United Nations says a yes vote to a recent UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolution on the situation in Gaza represented no change in the Islamic Republic’s official policy with regards to the issue of Palestine. 

In an exclusive interview with the IRNA’s correspondent in New York on Tuesday, sources in Iran’s UN mission said that the country had approved the Jordan-proposed resolution of the UNGA on the need for a ceasefire in Gaza with reservations, including the fact that it would not accept the two state solution to resolve the conflict in Palestine and will never recognize a state run by the “cursed regime of Israel”. 

It said Iran still reiterates the need for the establishment of a democratic Palestinian state with holy Quds as its capital within all Palestinian territories from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. 

The mission said, however, that UNGA’s approval of the resolution was a victory for the international community in its efforts to support the oppressed people of Palestine and to defend their right to create a state. 

The UNGA resolution adopted on Friday overwhelmingly called for an immediate humanitarian truce between Israel and Palestinian resistance group Hamas and demanded aid access to the besieged Gaza Strip and protection of civilians.

More than 8,500 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7 when the regime started to respond to an operation by Hamas that targeted settlers and military forces in the occupied Palestinian territories.
