Iran Calls for Permanent Ceasefire in Gaza
Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations Amir Saeid Iravani urged a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, stressing the necessity for the full withdrawal of Israeli soldiers from the besieged Palestinian enclave.
Addressing the UN Security Council, Iravani commended the Palestinian nation and their resistance against Israel after the ceasefire agreement came into effect in Gaza. He also emphasized that the deal must be converted into a permanent solution.“While a welcome step, the ceasefire must be transformed into a permanent and sustainable solution. This demands the full withdrawal of Israeli forces, the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid, and a robust, comprehensive reconstruction plan for Gaza," the envoy stated.“Israel's unwillingness to fully withdraw and its insistence on maintaining control over Gaza's security undermines these efforts and perpetuates instability,” he added.The Iranian diplomat called on the Security Council to take a united and strong position in "defending Gaza's territorial integrity".He also urged the international community to prioritize safeguarding the mandate of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), and ensure predictable, sustained funding to support displaced Palestinians.
“Equally critical is addressing the escalating violence in the West Bank, including the surge in settler attacks, which poses a serious threat to peace and security and requires immediate, decisive action,” Iravani pointed out.The Iranian diplomat noted that Gaza remains the center of a deep humanitarian crisis, noting that the tragedy has exposed double standards, moral failures, and inaction from the international community and the Security Council.“The atrocities committed by the Israeli apartheid regime are shocking. Families have been wiped out, hospitals and schools destroyed, and critical infrastructure demolished. The blockade on Gaza has turned life for over two million people into a daily struggle, depriving them of food, water, medicine, and electricity. These actions are collective punishment on an unimaginable scale,” he stated.Iran's ambassador and permanent representative to the UN emphasized that Israel's heinous crimes in Gaza, including mass killings of civilians, the destruction of vital infrastructure and the forced displacement of entire communities, constitute acts of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.“Such crimes cannot be overlooked after the ceasefire; accountability and prosecution must be pursued,” the envoy continued.
Iravani continued that "an uncompromising accountability is crucial for justice and preventing further atrocities", saying, it is imperative that the Security Council should remain "objective and does not succumb to the propaganda of the terrorist regime of Israel that seeks to deflect attention from these underlying issues".He also stressed that the Israeli regime must honor its commitment to the ceasefire with Lebanon, immediately halt its violations of Lebanese sovereignty, and withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon after 60 days of the ceasefire deal.“The Security Council must adopt a firm position to ensure the full and precise implementation of the ceasefire agreement. Likewise, Israel’s occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights violates the 1974 Agreement on Disengagement and UN Resolution 497, which declared its annexation illegal,” he noted.Iravani finally described resistance movements across the West Asia region as a legitimate response to decades of Israeli occupation, aggression and expansionist policies.The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms its steadfast support of the Palestinian right to self-defense and resistance under international law, he concluded.
Over 47,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children were killed and more than 111,000 injured in Israel’s military onslaught on the tiny territory since October 2023, according to local health authorities.The military campaign has turned much of the enclave of 2.3 million people into ruins, leaving most civilians homeless and at risk of famine.After failing to achieve its objectives in the war, Israel was forced to accept a ceasefire deal with Hamas on Wednesday. The long-awaited agreement went into effect on Sunday.The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants in November 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.#Iran#Gaza
