Full text of the interview Tasnim news agency with Ali Bahraini, the ambassador and representative of Iran is as follows:

Tasnim: How do you evaluate the human rights situation in Palestine in view of the continuous attacks of the Zionist regime against the people and civilians in Gaza?

Bahrini: The current situation in Palestine can be Considered one of the most painful and unprecedented global crises of our time, this crisis has several features that distinguish the Palestinian crisis from almost all the crises we have faced in the last hundred years. The most important feature of its “75-year occupation” is a fully equipped occupying force that has the support of the world’s military superpowers; The “formation of a so-called government” based on this occupation and the “daily and non-stop massacre” of the residents of the occupied areas for all these 75 years is another feature of this crisis, which has been carried out with two goals: stabilization of the occupation and foreign expelling the original inhabitants of the occupied territories; When all these features are placed in one frame, you realize the depth of this 75-year-old disaster.

What is happening today in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories. It is an extract and summary of seventy-five years of crimes that have occurred against the Palestinians so that all of us who are currently living in this era can see it in one place. All examples of every type of crime that can be imagined in a crisis are being committed by the Zionist occupying forces, there is no crime that this regime has not committed, a collection of all types of crimes that can happen in a crisis .

Tasnim: How do you see the role of human rights claimants, including the United States, regarding the veto of the Security Council resolution in the continuation of crimes and genocide in Gaza?

Bahrini: all field evidence and evidence based on Official and unofficial reports indicate that the United States of America, along with Israel, helps this regime in several fields in the genocide and crimes against the Palestinians, and in fact, it is a very direct and effective actor; In addition to America’s presence in the field in support of Israel by providing military and economic packages, America also plays the role of Israel’s proxy force in the Security Council and does not allow effective action to be taken in the political arena to stop the genocide in the occupied Palestinian territories.

In addition to the two field and political fields that I mentioned, America also plays a prominent role in committing Israeli crimes against the Palestinians in the third field. And that is by preventing third parties from taking effective measures to stop Israel’s crimes; One of them is the blind but ineffective military attacks of America and England on Yemen to stop the support of the people of this country to the Palestinian people.

Tasnim:Recently, the Zionist regime made claims against UNRWA and also the support of some Westerners from the regime put pressure on the humanitarian activities of this agency, how will these accusations affect the human rights situation in Palestine?

Bahrini: The strategy of the Israeli regime in the last 75 years is merciless killing, deliberately displacing the residents of different areas of Palestine and replacing these areas with settlements. The constructions have been for the settlement of people who are sent from different parts of the world to the occupied areas with benefits and facilities. This 75-year-old crisis has entered a new phase since October 7, during which the Zionist occupying forces have put this strategy on their agenda, which will destroy everything that has kept the resilience of the Palestinians to stay in their country. destroy, which means that the humanitarian actions and services that have been given to the Palestinians in the past decades have actually kept their resilience to resist the occupation and crimes of the Zionist regime at a relatively acceptable level, the Israeli regime since October 7 And under the false pretexts of international humanitarian organizations supporting liberation movements like Hamas, they are trying to destroy these fields of resilience, this regime does not even show mercy to hospitals and medical and educational centers, which are at least safe areas in the occupied territories. This has a very simple message, and that is that everything that can cause the Palestinians to stay in their ancestral lands and cause a minimum of resistance and resilience against this occupation must be destroyed, and in this direction, the Israeli regime with Full-fledged Rahmi has not adhered to any standards, values, ethical, human, legal and human rights.

Tasnim: How can the UN Human Rights Council play an effective role in Stop the crimes of the Zionist regime? Can the upcoming meeting of this council play a significant role in this regard?

Bahreini: Basically, the current world order against the crisis of occupying the Palestinian and Syrian lands by the Zionist occupying forces and especially against the crimes that have been at their peak in the occupied lands since October 7 It has been a flawed and ineffective order for the past 8 decades. This is an issue that almost all those who have a hand in the fire of international developments and dynamics acknowledge, whatever capacity and possibility existed in this order has been used to a great extent, but it has not been able to stop the genocide and crime against humanity that to stop what is happening in the occupied territories. The Human Rights Council is also a part of this order. The life of the structure of the world system that is formed around the United Nations is equal to the life of the Palestinian crisis, many wars and crises have occurred and ended in these 75 years, but this crisis is getting deeper every day and the depth of the crimes committed by the occupying forces as a result of it. It gets more.

Why this order has been completely ineffective in solving the crisis of occupation of Palestine is very simple, and that too in “occupation” Lies. For the people whose land is occupied, the occupier can never be considered a “neighbor”. Why does part of the international community unfairly expect the Palestinians to agree to a two-state solution and accept the Zionist occupation forces as their “neighbors”? The neighboring countries of Palestine in the region should not give in to such an acceptance that they accept the occupier as their neighbor. It is equal to occupation; Therefore, the root of this crisis is the “occupation” that if it ends, this crisis will definitely end like many crises in the past, but because the great powers were and are part of this plan and occupation and have no will and desire to end this occupation, the executor of this The occupation, that is, the Israeli regime, continues to play its role, that is, the occupation and its development. This crisis is one of the few major crises left over from the colonial era and from the negative legacy left over from the colonial era in the West Asian region, in which the role of the colonial forces and extra-regional actors played the first and last role in its formation and continuation. They are absolutely responsible for everything that has happened in these 75 years as a result of this occupation, and they must be accountable before the conscience of the world community, of course, before the consciences of the awakened ones who still have a glimmer of humanity and light in their existence.

Tasnim: What are Iran’s agendas in this meeting and what will Iran’s expectations be for dealing with the human rights situation in Palestine?

Bahrini:Islamic Republic of Iran beside The Islamic and like-minded countries that support the Palestinian people will be the voice of the oppression of the Palestinian people in the 55th session of the Human Rights Council. Today, the mission of all the supporters of humanity and freedom is to not allow the genocide and crimes of the Zionist regime in the eyes of the world public opinion. become a normal, second-hand and unimportant issue. Although we believe that the current world order has failed to pay attention to the real root and cause of the Palestinian crisis and solve it, we must use the existing tools and structures in this order to disgrace the criminals occupying the Palestinian and Syrian lands and their supporters in the continuation of 75 He used these crimes and occupation for years. The fundamental policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in international forums has always been to be the voice of the oppression of the Palestinian people, both in the national capacity and in the collective and group capacity of Islamic countries and other countries that support Palestine, and we have adhered to this principled policy and are proud of it.
