Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei has called on the world to hold Israel to account after its killing of the five journalists in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.
“A press badge is no shield against genocidal war criminals who fear the world witnessing their atrocities,” said Baghaei, accusing Israel of assassinating the journalists “in cold blood”.
“Strong condemnation is the bare minimum for any decent human being, but the world must act immediately to stop this harrowing genocide and hold the criminals accountable,” he added. “Indifference and inaction are complicity in Israel’s crimes.”
