Only Palestinians Can Decide Gaza’s Fate: Iranian Spokesman
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The future of the Gaza Strip must be shaped by the Palestinian people alone, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry said.
Speaking at a weekly press conference on Monday, Esmaeil Baqaei rejected US President Donald Trump's proposal that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip be relocated to Egypt and Jordan.
“No group can comment on the future of Gaza except Palestinians themselves,” the spokesman added.
He also denounced the Israeli regime’s crimes in the West Bank despite a ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
The human rights rapporteurs have raised concerns over the repetition of the Zionist regime’s genocidal crimes in the West Bank, Baqaei warned, calling for serious action by the Islamic countries to prevent a recurrence of Gaza catastrophes in the West Bank.
“The international community must not allow the normalization of massacre,” he emphasized.
The Israeli regime launched a major offensive in the occupied West Bank, dubbed “Iron Wall”, last month, focused primarily on attacking Palestinian armed groups from the Jenin area, just after it began a ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza on January 19.
