Iran plans to file a suit with the global Criminal Court (ICC) against Israel in connection with its activities in the Gaza Strip," said MFA spokesperson IRI Nasser Kanaani.
"From the point of view of many lawyers and global experts, the Israeli government has committed war crimes ... (including – ed.) a number of war crimes in the Gaza Strip. There's plenty of evidence. As part of his proposal to the muslim Cooperation Organisation ... Iran has called for a committee to make these papers to be submitted to global courts, including the global Criminal Court (ED), and we hope that the global Criminal Court, within its inherent mission, will prove that it acts impartially and reasonably and will take measures to carry out the process of war criminals," said Kanaani quoted by the Fars press agency.
A spokesperson for the Iranian MFA reported that the country's abroad Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, on his last journey to Geneva, raised this issue at a gathering with UN representatives, and besides stressed that Iran would monitor the substance closely.
Israel was struck by an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip on 7 October as part of Operation Al-Aksa Flood, announced by the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement. Organization fighters then infiltrated border areas in confederate Israel, where they opened fire on both military and civilian, and besides took over 200 hostages. In Israel, according to the latest figures of the authorities, about 1.4 1000 people were killed, including civilians, soldiers, foreigners and workers, and more than 5 000 were reported injured.
In response, Israel's defence Force launched Operation Iron Sword against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Within a fewer days, the Israeli military took control of all settlements close the Gaza border and began raiding facilities, including civilian ones, in the Zone. Israel besides announced a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicines and fuel were halted.
At the end of October, an Israeli enclave operation began. The city of Gaza was surrounded by Israeli land forces, and the enclave was actually divided into the confederate and northern parts.
The number of killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip exceeded 13,000 people, more than 30,000 people suffered. The Russian embassy reported that 20 Russians were killed in the escalation of the conflict, 2 were hostages and 7 were missing. According to various reports Hamas may have about 150 Israelis in captivity. The movement itself claims that there are about 200-250 prisoners in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict related to the territorial interests of the parties has been a origin of tension and hostility in the region for many decades. The UN decision with the active function of the USSR in 1947 established the creation of 2 states – Israel and Palestine, but only the Israeli state was created.
