Gaza massacre taking place under US empty human rights slogan

Gaza massacre taking place under US empty human rights slogan

TEHRAN, Dec. 11 (MNA) –  The Iranian foreign minister has said that the continued killing of thousands of civilians including women and children in Gaza and the West Bank occurred under the US clear support for the massacre.

Such a veto at the United Nations by the US proved once again that the American officials lie about defending human rights and the rights of women, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a post on his page on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday. 

Many world leaders and UN officials have censured the US for vetoing the resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian truce in Gaza.

Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian Resistance movements waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

The health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on Sunday said the death toll from the Israeli war on Gaza had risen to at least 17,997, most of them women and children. There were an additional 49,229 wounded.

Tel Aviv has also cut off one of the most densely populated places in the world from basic supplies, such as water, electricity, and fuel. Shortage of medical supplies and food has left 2.3 million Palestinians at risk of starvation.
