Iran urges UNSC to fulfill its main duty in protecting peace

TEHRAN, Dec. 23 (MNA) – Speaking at the Tehran International Conference on Palestine, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson called on the United Nations Security Council to fulfill its duty regarding protecting peace.

The conference was held on Saturday morning in the presence of a group of scholars and thinkers, religious figures, and media activists in Tehran.

Referring to the continued Israeli regime's crimes in the Gaza Strip and the international efforts to stop the Zionists' atrocities, Nasser Kan'ani said that lifting the Gaza blockade, opening the borders to send humanitarian aid, and opposing the forced migration of Gaza residents are among the main priorities for the international community.

This global desire was expressed in the recent resolution of the United Nations General Assembly with 153 votes from different countries as the voice of the world's public opinion, and with this resolution, the world emphasized the need to stop the war and the crimes of the Zionists and to establish a lasting ceasefire, he further noted.

Pointing out the rallies held across the globe in support of Palestine and in condemnation of the Israeli regime's crimes against the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip, Kan'ani emphasized, that the nations of the world clearly showed that they want this situation to end and end the crimes of the Zionist regime to stop.

"In this situation, the Security Council must fulfill its legal and main duty, which is to protect the peace, he said, adding that it is expected that the pressure on the United States, which was the only country against the binding resolution of the Security Council, has caused Washington to hear the world's voice.

He also expressed hope that the conference would lead to the intensification of the pressure on the Zionist regime and its supporters and strengthen global solidarity with the Palestinian people.
