Gaza Escalation
ISLAMABAD: Iran Calls on Muslim Nations to Sever Diplomatic Ties and Boycott Israeli Products Amid Ongoing Gaza Conflict.
In response to the relentless bombing of the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces, Iran has urged Muslim countries to take strong measures, including cutting diplomatic relations with Israel and boycotting Israeli products.
The recent surge in violence follows a surprise attack by the Hamas resistance group, which breached Israel’s defense on October 7.
The siege on Gaza, home to 2.3 million people, has led to devastating consequences, with more than 5,000 Palestinians killed, including a significant number of children, as reported by Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
The conflict has resulted in the destruction of thousands of buildings and the displacement of over a million people, exacerbating the territory’s existing challenges in accessing essential resources such as water and food.
Reza Amiri Moghaddam, Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan, expressed deep concern about the international community’s silence on the atrocities committed by the Israeli forces in Gaza. He emphasized that Israel’s relentless bombing has not spared hospitals and mosques, blatantly violating international humanitarian and war principles.
Ambassador Amiri further underscored the ruthless and widespread nature of Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip, condemning the brutality of the ongoing conflict. Overall, Iran urges Muslim countries to cut ties with Israel and boycott products amidst Gaza escalation on Wednesday.
