Iran calls for protecting Al-Aqsa Mosque under international laws

SANAA, April 26 (YPA) – Iran’s Permanent Ambassador to the United Nations Majid Takht-Ravanchi condemned the Attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Zionist entity, warning the Israeli regime of the consequences of its actions against Palestinians

He stressed on the need to protect the legal and historical status of this holy place within the framework of international laws to prevent a catastrophe with widespread influence.

During his speech at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Monday, Majid Takht-Ravanchi criticized the 15-member body for its silence and inaction on the Israeli regime’s crimes against the Palestinian people.

He said that as long as the Security Council continues to be passive and silent about such crimes, the rights of the Palestinians will not be protected.

“The continuation of the Security Council’s current stance has only encouraged and emboldened the Israeli regime to perpetuate its occupation and crimes against the oppressed Palestinian people,” Takht-Ravanchi said.

Iran’s UN envoy said the crimes of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people are completely documented and undeniable. “They are considered war crimes under international law and the perpetrators must be brought to justice without further delay.”
