In response to Israeli accusations at the UNHRC, Iran's representative slams Israeli hypocrisy and sheds light on the entity's own heinous crimes in occupied Palestinian territories.

Iran's representative at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sternly responded to accusations made by the Israeli representative at the council's meeting on Thursday.

After the Israeli occupation's representative alleged that Iran is committing human rights violations, Hamid Ahmadi, the Iranian diplomat, called out "Israel's" crimes in occupied Palestinian territories.

Ahmadi went on to detail a list of Israeli violations in occupied Palestinian territories. He pointed to the racist nature of the Israeli entity, which, in itself, constitutes a violation of international law.

Ahmadi took a dig at Israeli diplomats calling out their hypocrisy for lecturing others on human rights violations while overlooking their own heinous crimes.

“Unfortunately, we see representatives of the [Israeli] occupation entity talking about the human rights of others and yet forget all about their flagrant violations.”

He told the member of "Israel's" mission at the UNHRC to self-reflect and examine her government's bloody record in occupied Palestinian territories, adding that it would be wiser if the Israeli representative investigated the deaths of Palestinian women and children at the hands of Israeli occupation soldiers.

The Iranian diplomat pointed to "Israel's" forced displacement of Palestinian residents from their homes, as it continues to build settlements which are illegal under international law in occupied territories. He also listed its violations against members of the civil society, particularly against journalists who have been deliberately targeted by occupation forces, and Shireen Abu Akleh is standing proof of this policy.

Ahmadi said "Israel" seeks to exploit the UNHRC to cover up its own brutal crimes, which it has avoided punishment for for the past 80 years.

He also called for an immediate end to the occupation's crimes, demanding accountability for its flagrant human rights violations.

Earlier last week, the Israeli occupation Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, was kicked out by a UN security officer after the former raised a photo in protest during Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's address to the United Nations General Assembly.

Newsmax posted a video showing security officers escorting the Israeli diplomat out of the room shortly after his one-man show.

The Jewish News Service also cited the Israeli occupation delegation as saying that Erdan was "temporarily detained" but "released with the assistance of Israel's security and diplomatic teams."

"There was indeed an incident when the permanent representative of Israel walked down the aisle and unfurled a photo during the speech by the president of Iran in the general assembly," media reports quoted a UN spokesperson as saying.

"UN security spoke to him. At no time was the ambassador detained in any way, shape or form. As far as we are concerned, the incident is closed," the spokesperson claimed.
