On the situation in Gaza, he emphasized that the world has witnessed Israeli atrocities, which “in eleven months has murdered in cold blood over 41,000 innocent people, mostly women and children.” As Israel assassinated Iranian scientists, diplomats, and guests, Iran supported popular liberation movements of those victimized by the Israeli regime’s crimes and colonialism, he continued. “We have been siding with the people across the world, who have flooded the streets in outrage against Israeli atrocities; we condemn Israeli crimes against humanity,” he said, urging the international community to immediately stop the violence and establish a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. He also condemned Israel’s “desperate barbarism” in Lebanon
