TEHRAN, Feb 7 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, has strongly condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan, to take control of Gaza and relocate Palestinians from the coastal enclave.
He made the remarks in a statement, released by the ministry Wednesday night, one day after Trump said, at a joint press conference alongside the Israeli regime’s recalcitrant Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu that, the United States would “take control of the Gaza Strip,” move Palestinians to neighbouring countries, and redevelop the coastal enclave.
Baghaei said that, expressing such a thought was “astonishing and in line with the Israeli regime’s targeted plan, to completely eliminate the Palestinian nation,” adding that, the “claim of planning to own the Gaza Strip is an unprecedented violation against all the fundamental principles of international law and the United Nations (UN) Charter.”
The insane plan should be “completely rejected and condemned” due to its obvious contradiction with inalienable principles and rules of international law and human rights, he said.
He called on the international community and the UN, to decisively condemn the U.S. plan and position, and help restore the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and free them from occupation.– NNN-IRNA
