"By this savage aggression, the army of this child-killing regime has continued its permanent policy in a targeted and preplanned way, that is killing and committing genocide against a nation through flagrant and a huge massacre of the civilians and the destruction of civilian centers, including infrastructural facilities, residential areas, clinical centers, schools, mosques and even the relief and rescue and media groups," Rouhani said, addressing an emergency meeting of the foreign ministers of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) held in Tehran on Monday to discuss the aggravating conditions of the people in the Gaza Strip.
"The killing and injuring of over 10,000 civilians, including women and children, and the displacement of tens of thousands of others in addition to the deliberate destruction of all Gaza infrastructures is a strong evidence to this claim," he added.
Rouhani blasted the UN Security Council for its lack of action and the international community's passivity in pressuring the Zionist regime to stop its anti-humane crimes, and said such negligence has emboldened Israel so much that it even prevents sending humanitarian aids, food stuff, medicine and medical equipment to the people in Gaza.
He said that the Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the long-term conflicts in the Middle-East will not end by any means but through the settlement of the Palestinian issue, ending the occupation of all the occupied territories, restoring the Palestinians' right of self-determination, return of all the Palestinian refugees and the formation of an integrated Palestinian government with the holy Quds as its capital through the arrangement of a referendum with the participation of all people and the age-old indigenous population of those territories.
50 NAM member states have sent their representatives to Tehran to participate in the meeting, 8 of them at ministerial level.
The NAM foreign ministers attended the block's emergency meeting to discuss the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and also find a solution to halt Tel Aviv's savagery against the defenseless Gazans.
The NAM is a group of states which are not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. As of 2012, the movement has 120 members and 17 observer countries.
Israeli warplanes have been pounding numerous sites in the Gaza Strip since July 8, demolishing houses and burying families under the rubble. Israeli forces also began a ground offensive against the impoverished Palestinian land on July 17.
The Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,822 people and injuring nearly 10,000 others in the past 28 days. /SR
