The Islamic Republic of Iran took a humanitarian approach to the Palestinian question and became forerunners in support of the oppressed children, brothers and sisters in humanity irrespective of their culture and creed. The support highlighted war crimes and genocide perpetrated by the Zionist regime since the occupation and theft of Palestinian lands, and this led to International courts and communities condemning Israel of war crimes as stated by International Law, and Humanitarian Law.
The world could not be proud enough of a historical and courageous move by South Africa for leading a case against Israel at the ICJ in The Hague, under the Genocide Convention, for acts committed by Israel in the context of its attacks on Gaza on 7 October 2023.
The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that in order to achieve the right to life and return to the occupied territories, a referendum must be held in the occupied areas by the residents of the area, whether Muslim, Jewish or Christian, in a democratic process. This democratic referendum could end decades of conflict and restore humanity.
