Iran condemns Israeli war crimes in Gaza and West Bank, says US complicit
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s escalating military attacks and terrorist operations against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, slamming Washington’s full support for the ongoing genocide and demanding international action to stop the killings and hold Israeli leaders accountable.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the ministry denounced the Israeli attack on the Jabalia police center, which killed a police commander and several officers, as well as the ongoing arrests, torture, land confiscation, infrastructure destruction, and restrictions on humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
The statement pointed to the systematic violation of the so-called ceasefire in Gaza, noting that Israel has breached the truce more than 3,600 times since it was declared nine months ago, killing over 1,100 Palestinians, many of them women and children.
It also condemned the continued inhumane siege of Gaza, which has blocked the entry of basic necessities.
Tehran stressed that the United States is complicit in Israeli crimes due to its full military, political, and media support for the regime, and its obstruction of international accountability mechanisms.
The ministry called on the UN, its member states, and especially Islamic countries to fulfill their legal and moral duties to stop the genocide, end the occupation, and prosecute Zionist criminals.
According to the Gaza Government Media Office, Israeli attacks since the ceasefire have killed 1,122 Palestinians and injured 3,599.

Since the October 2023 start of Israel's military campaign, more than 73,200 Palestinians have been killed and over 173,700 wounded, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The UN has found that Israeli forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide and atrocity crimes in Gaza, with over 21,000 children killed. More than 11,000 schoolchildren and at least 441 teachers have also been killed.
In the West Bank, violence has escalated dramatically. Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 1,087 Palestinians since October 2023.
In just the past week, eight Palestinians have been killed by settlers and Israeli forces, and more than 225 have been abducted.
The UN has documented war crimes by Israel in the West Bank, including the deliberate targeting of children.
In February 2026, Israel approved measures facilitating expanded land registration and property acquisition by Israelis in the occupied West Bank, accelerating territorial conquest.
