Russia has rejected the justification of the ‘right of self-defense’ by Israel and the West for the Israeli bombing of Gaza, saying that Israel has no right to defend itself, it is an occupier.
Addressing the special session of the United Nations General Assembly on the situation in Gaza, the Russian delegate, Vassily Nebenzia, condemned the violations of international humanitarian law and the genocide of innocent civilians on the Gaza issue, and the Western hypocrisy of raising noise on the Ukraine issue. Severely criticized.
He said that we cannot turn a blind eye to Israel’s violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza.
Russian delegate said that according to the 2004 International Court of Justice (ICJ) advisory, Israel cannot use the United Nations right of defense clause for operations in the event of threats or attacks from the occupied territories of Palestine.
He said that he recognizes Israel’s right to ensure its security, but this is only possible if it takes steps to resolve the Palestinian issue in the light of United Nations resolutions.
Russian delegate to the United Nations urged to stop the bloodshed in the Middle East and also demanded a diplomatic solution to prevent the crisis from spreading to the region.
