TEHRAN, Oct. 29 (MNA) – Secretary-General of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights said that the international human rights mechanisms are not even capable of taking a proper stance to Zionist crimes in Gaza, let alone taking practical measures.

Kazem Gharibabadi said on Sunday that in the first week of attacks against Gaza Strip, the Zionist regime perpetrated all crimes, including war crimes, crime against humanity, genocide and ethnic cleansing.

In spite of its previous aggressions against Palestinians, this time the Zionist regime admits to its crimes and is mocking the international treaties, the official added.

He urged the need for the Islamic states to put legal and judicial measures on their agenda and document the crimes of the Zionist regime.

The Israeli regime launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group waged a surprise attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.

Hamas said that its operation came in response to the Israeli regime’s violations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East al-Quds and growing Zionist settler violence.

Gaza's health ministry says Israeli strikes have since killed more than 8,000 Palestinians, over 3,000 of them children.
