Nasser Kanaani on Friday reacted to Resolution 2722, proposed by the United States and Japan and passed by the UN Security Council, noting that instead of taking decisive action to halt the Israeli regime's crimes, the US administration continues to fully support the regime politically, militarily, internationally, and diplomatically.
Despite over three months of devastating and inhumane military attacks by the Zionist regime on the defenseless people of the Gaza Strip, and the widespread destruction of homes, urban infrastructure, services, healthcare, and sanitation, the US action to prevent the adoption of a resolution in the Security Council calling for an end to the war against Gaza hinders the implementation of the council's duties in maintaining international peace and security, he added.
This contrasts with the international community's demand to end the killing of Palestinians and establish a ceasefire, he further noted.
Pressuring the council's members and without considering the root cause of the crisis and tension in the region, the US passed a resolution that only in appearance focuses on the rights and freedom of maritime navigation in the Red Sea, he said.
The main goal of the resolution is to legitimize the Washington-led maritime coalition to achieve specific political goals and create the necessary shield to continue the Israeli regime's war crimes in Gaza, he added.
Kanaani said the remarks of the US envoy at the Security Council meeting about what he called "the rights and freedom of shipping of all countries in the Red Sea" only intended to divert public attention from the ongoing crimes in Gaza.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran, while rejecting the trumped-up claims of the US and warning against any provocative and irresponsible action by that country that endangers regional peace and security, calls on the council to fulfill its responsibilities to address the causes of the current tension in the Red Sea.”
The UN Security Council must immediately take decisive measures to force the Israeli regime to stop the bloodshed and fully implement resolutions 2712 and 2720 to ensure the necessary requirements to facilitate and ensure the rapid and safe delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians across Gaza, he added.
