Tehran: Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei citing a UN report led by Navi Pillay has confirmed Israel's genocidal intent in Gaza, stressing that enablers such as the UK must assume legal and moral responsibility and end complicity in ongoing crimes.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Baghaei has strongly denounced the ongoing crimes of the Israeli regime in Gaza, citing a newly released report by the UN Human Rights Council's Commission of Inquiry. Baghaei referred to a 72-page legal analysis issued by the commission, chaired by Navi Pillay, which concluded that Israeli authorities and security forces have acted with genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

"The Commission concludes that the Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have had and continue to have the genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip," Baghaei stated. He concluded by saying that the genocidal regime's enablers and apologists must shoulder their legal and moral responsibilities and stop active participation and complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people.
