In a statement released on April 1, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemned the resolution of the Knesset of the Zionist regime to execute Palestinian prisoners, describing it as a violation of basic moral norms and the fundamental principles of human rights and international humanitarian law, especially the 1949 Geneva Conventions, and considering it a deadly blow to the system of international law, particularly human rights and humanitarian law.
The statement added that this resolution, which has been designed and approved as part of the policy of genocide and colonial eradication of the Palestinian people, further reveals the apartheid and fascist nature of the Zionist regime and serves as evidence of the moral and human degradation of the policymakers and officials of the Israeli regime.
The Foreign Ministry, while emphasizing the fundamental right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with al-Quds al-Sharif as its capital, reminded all governments, the United Nations, and legal and human rights bodies of their legal and moral responsibility to take urgent action to end the impunity of the Zionist regime and to stop its ongoing crimes against Palestinians as well as other countries and nations in the region.
It stressed that continued indifference and inaction in the face of the Zionist regime’s lawbreaking and acts of aggression will undoubtedly not only lead to the continuation of gross violations of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people, but will also drive the entire West Asia region and the whole world toward increasing insecurity.
