Displacing people of Gaza, clear example of ethnic cleansing: Iran’s deputy FM

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani has called for an immediate end to the displacement of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, saying the practice is a clear example of “ethnic cleansing.”

Bagheri Kani made the remarks during a meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa in Tokyo on Monday, during which they discussed bilateral ties, as well as international and regional issues.

The Iranian official further called on the international community to use whatever means at their disposal to end the Israeli regime’s war crimes and genocide in Gaza.

He also urged Japan and international parties to provide humanitarian assistance to Gazans, ease the flow of aid, and fight the forced displacement of the people living in the besieged territory.
