Iran response to aggression
The Iranian president has reiterated that the Islamic Republic will never surrender to bullying and aggression, and will respond decisively to any attack. Masoud Pezeshkian was speaking in a meeting with his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, on the sidelines of the 31st UN Climate Change Conference in Turkey. Pezeshkian stressed that Iran has never sought to acquire nuclear weapons, and the United States was mistaken in its assessment of Iran's capabilities when it started its aggression. He added that after restricting Iran's sea and air routes, the Americans are now trying to block the country’s land routes as well, but they will not achieve their goals through such measures. Referring to the Israeli regime’s role in the creation and spread of the current crisis in the region, Pezeshkian said the Zionist regime poured fuel on the fire, and by deceiving US President Donald Trump, led him to war. He noted that the era of unilateralism has ended, and countries cannot impose their desired order on others by relying on brute force.
Israeli crimes in Gaza
The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has categorically rejected the statement issued by the so-called Gaza Board of Peace regarding Israel’s attack on the Nasser Medical Complex, accusing the board of adopting the regime’s narrative. Hamas said the board seeks to cover up the reality of the ongoing Israeli aggression and systematic violations against innocent civilians and civilian infrastructure, especially hospitals, in Gaza. It noted that the board is trying to hold the victims responsible for the crimes committed against them, by repeating Israel's lies about the use of hospitals for military purposes. Hamas said the board’s stance on the Israeli massacre in Nasser Medical Complex is clearly biased and contradicts the most basic standards of objectivity and justice. It also denounced the global silence on Israel’s brutal crimes in Gaza, calling it a proof of the international community’s blatant failure in meeting its legal and moral responsibilities, which encourages the regime to continue its violations. Israel’s early Thursday attack on Nasser Medical Complex left six Palestinians, including a doctor, dead, and more than 20 others injured.
Israel West Bank violations
A group of pro-Palestine human rights activists has asked a French court to ban an Israeli real-estate fair in Paris. They say the event offers a bonus to prospective Israeli settlers in the occupied territories. The Franco-Palestinian NIDAL association has filed an emergency motion with the court against the 9th Icube real estate and investment salon, arguing that the fair violates human rights. NIDAL asked the court to either order the head of Paris police force to ban the event outright, or ensure that the event does not sell property in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds, which have been occupied by Israel since 1967. The rights group said before taking legal action, they had sent a letter to the Paris police in early November, which went unanswered. The group argues that marketing Israeli settlements in the occupied territories contributes to the replacement of the Palestinian people through population transfer, which is prohibited by international law and is considered a war crime under the French penal code.
