The Islamic Republic\u2019s ambassador to the United Nations has urged the world to do more to counter Israel\u2019s \u201cexpansionist\u201d policies<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The international community must take a more active approach to the plight of displaced Palestinians and the Israeli occupation of their land, Iranian Ambassador to the United Nations Amir-Saeid Iravani said on Friday.<\/p>\n

Iravani made the appeal on the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, a term used in the Arab and Muslim world to describe the flight and expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Today, around six million Palestinians are registered with the UN refugee agency UNRWA, many of them living in refugee camps.<\/p>\n

There is an \u201curgent necessity for international mobilization to confront the root causes of this situation,\u201d<\/em> Iravani said, calling for resistance to Israeli occupation and \u201cexpansionist policies.\u201d<\/em> Support for Palestine \u201cmust not remain limited merely to expressions of sympathy,\u201d<\/em> he added, arguing that the world must abandon \u201capproaches that have failed to achieve peace or justice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSurrender is not an option. History will remember kindly those who resisted oppression and defended freedom and the right to self-determination, and it will pass judgment on those who, through silence or indifference, paved the way for injustice,\u201d<\/em> the diplomat said, according to ISNA.<\/p>\n

The situation has been further exacerbated by Israel\u2019s war in Gaza, with the UN saying that the majority of the enclave\u2019s pre-conflict population of 2.1 million has been displaced.<\/p>\n

Officials in Israel have increasingly rejected calls for a two-state solution, arguing that the establishment of a fully independent Palestinian state would threaten their country\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will not be a Palestinian state. It\u2019s very simple: it will not be established,\u201d<\/em> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in November 2025, according to the Times of Israel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
