Israel’s execution of Palestinian inmates a blow to Intl. law

TEHRAN, Apr. 01 (MNA) – Denouncing the decision by Israeli Knesset to pass a bill that allows military courts to hand down death sentences to Palestinian prisoners, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says it a serious blow to the international law.

In a post on his X account on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei wrote, “Authorizing the execution of Palestinian prisoners constitutes an unprecedented assault on the foundational principles of International Humanitarian Law and the 1949 Geneva Conventions, particularly Common Article 3.”

“This represents a shocking regression into barbarism and a return to the law of jungle,” he added.

Does anyone still care to recognize the profound moral decay into which so-called ‘human civilization’ is rapidly descending – a decay driven by Israel’s lawless & atrocious behavior?!, Baghaei emphasized.

In a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said that the bill "devised and adopted as part of the ongoing policy of genocide and colonial eradication of the Palestinian people, further exposes the apartheid and fascist nature of the Zionist regime and stands as evidence of the moral and human degradation of its policymakers and officials."

The ministry condemned the measure as a "blatant violation of basic moral principles and the fundamentals of human rights and international humanitarian law," particularly the 1949 Geneva Conventions, and termed it a lethal blow to the system of international law, especially human rights and international law.
