Israel, US Globally Isolated: Iranian Spokesman
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry described the overwhelming support from the UN General Assembly for Palestine’s full UN membership as a testimony of the US and the Israeli regime’s growing isolation in the international arena.
In a post on his X account on Saturday, Nasser Kanaani said Washington is providing overt and covert support for the Zionist regime’s crimes against Gaza while an international consensus has formed in support of Palestine as the world has expressed its hatred for the Israeli genocidal crimes, forced displacement of Palestinians, occupation, and massacre of children.
“The Zionist regime is in the most isolated state of its fake history, and the US officials are alone, even among their own people, in the blind support for it (Israel),” he added.
The Iranian spokesman noted that the international community’s decisive vote in favor of Palestine’s full UN membership clearly indicated the international isolation of the Zionist regime and the US.
On Friday, the UNGA overwhelmingly voted to support a Palestinian bid to become a full UN member by recognizing it as qualified to join and recommending the UN Security Council “reconsider the matter favorably”.
Memberships can only be decided by the UN Security Council, and last month, the US vetoed a bid for full membership.
The resolution does not give Palestinians full membership but recognizes them as qualified to join, and it gives Palestine more participation and some rights within the UNGA.
