Amirabdollahian, who is in the Swiss city of Geneva for a meeting of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), told reporters on Tuesday that the war in the besieged Gaza Strip could easily spiral out of control and engulf the whole region if the Israeli aggression is not stopped.
Iran’s top diplomat lamented the unfortunate timing of the Geneva event to commemorate 75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at a time when the world is witnessing “genocide” in Gaza.
“We are witnessing genocide in Palestine, and worse, the United States, which is the host of and home to the headquarters of the United Nations in New York, single-handedly vetoed the resolution to stop the massacre of women and children,” he said.
The United States on Friday used its veto power in the UN Security Council to block a draft resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
