Rouhani slams Israel for 'genocide' in Gaza
At a meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that Israel's policy is simply to eradicate the Palestinians.
In some of his harshest criticism so far of the war in Gaza, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani criticized Israel’s policy of “exterminating” Palestinians and called its actions “genocide.”
During an Aug. 4 speech at the Committee for Palestine at the Non-Aligned Movement, Rouhani said, “I hope this meeting is a valued opportunity to review the current developments in occupied Palestine, especially the situation in Gaza, and for all the members to find practical ways to assist these brave and oppressed people imprisoned in a colonial ring.”
