«I would like to start my speech with the biggest human problem. Our event is taking place at a time when the defenseless people of the Gaza Strip are without water and are under attack by the Israeli regime,» the First Vice President of Iran Mohammad Mokhber said at a meeting of Heads of Government of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in expanded format.
«This regime has shown its vile face by its inhumane actions against the peaceful people of Palestine. This is a regime that was defeated on the battlefield and is now trying to take revenge and kill innocent people. It blocked access to water, food, and fuel for these people. This is a crime against humanity,» he said.
