Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has decried ‘genocide’ being committed by Israel in Palestine as he arrived in New York for a UN meeting, Al Jazeera reports.

“The martyrdom of more than 25,000 Palestinians, the injury of tens of thousands and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza and the West Bank and the spread of instability in the region are the result of the genocide of the Israeli regime and its supporters,” he wrote in a post on X.
