Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani said on his X account that the statement of 57 Islamic and Arab countries at the Riyadh summit was a requirment for taking active action against the increasing crimes of the fake Israeli regime, but it is certainly not sufficient."
Islamic countries should take effective practical measures such as cutting off energy, trade, transit, and official ties with the Israeli regime to implement their decision at the communique, the former top Iranian security official said.
Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries called on Saturday for an immediate end to genocide in Gaza, rejecting the Israeli regime's justification of its actions against Palestinians as self-defense.
The extraordinary joint Islamic-Arab summit in Riyadh urged the International Criminal Court to investigate "war crimes and crimes against humanity that Zionists are committing" in the Palestinian territories, according to a final communique.
Dozens of leaders including Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who was welcomed back into the Arab League this year, attended.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi hailed the Hamas movement for fighting against Zionists and urged Islamic countries to impose oil and goods boycotting on the Israeli regime.
The Israeli regime waged a bloody war on Gaza on October 7 after Hamas’s Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity.
Since the start of the aggression, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 11,100 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured about 27,500 others.
It has also imposed a “complete siege” on the coastal sliver, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
