Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian told a foreign policy conference in Tehran that the situation in Gaza has led to a “major crisis” of morality and effectiveness for the global community, Al Jazeera reports.

“This is a crisis that will serve as a test for the equality and human rights slogans of the recent century, and it remains to be seen how the global community will emerge from this test,” he said.

Tehran’s top diplomat said “widespread war crimes” have been committed by Israel for close to four months, and the world has directly witnessed massacres, mass displacement and “genocide”.

“Any free human being must ask themselves, and of course the leaders of the world order, ‘what have international organisations achieved in resolving this crisis?’”
