The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned "Israel's" move to forcibly expel Gaza City's population, stressing that the city has suffered relentless airstrikes for nearly two years and, in the last five months, an intentional starvation campaign by the occupation, actions it called a clear-cut war crime and crime against humanity.

The Foreign Ministry stressed in a statement released on Sunday that this decision serves no purpose other than to complete the plan of genocide and the erasure of Palestine as a nation and identity.

The Ministry further argued that this outcome stems from "the impunity granted to the Israeli regime’s criminal leaders, enabled by full US and European military-political backing, alongside blocked efforts at the UN Security Council and international courts to prosecute the occupation’s officials."

'Greater Israel' project exposes occupation's intentions

The Ministry further stated that the forced expulsion of Gaza’s people, a crime intended to obliterate Palestine’s cultural and national identity, aligns with the Israeli prime minister’s "shameless and deeply dangerous" push for a "Greater Israel", a vision that includes seizing large portions of Muslim and Arab territories.

This further reveals the inherently expansionist and aggressive character of the Israeli occupation, demonstrating how it endangers stability and security both in the region and worldwide, the statement emphasized.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry cautioned that "Israel" is actively plotting to intensify its brutal attacks, carry out additional atrocities, and forcibly relocate Gaza's civilians to the southern areas of the territory.

It described the occupation's scheme as a dangerous escalation that demands immediate intervention from the international community, especially Muslim-majority nations, to prevent further warfare and stop the ongoing genocide targeting Palestinians.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry further warned that indifference and inaction in the face of the unrestrained brutality and oppression by the racist Israeli regime would only embolden the occupation forces, fueling their greed to pursue further criminal acts and expansionist ambitions without restraint.

'Spiritual mission' to realize 'Greater Israel'

Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated his commitment to the so-called "Greater Israel" vision, telling i24 News that he views himself as being on a "historic and spiritual mission."

Netanyahu said he was "very" attached to the concept, which he described as encompassing areas slated for a future Palestinian state, as well as territory that is part of present-day Jordan and Egypt.

Following a 10-hour overnight meeting on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced that his security cabinet had approved a plan to seize control of Gaza City, further escalating "Israel’s" war on Gaza, which has already claimed the lives of at least 61,000 Palestinians, the majority of them civilians.

"Israel’s" Channel 12 reported that the plan, involving the deployment of ground troops into the territory, could displace tens of thousands of people, worsen the already strained aid delivery efforts, and push around 1 million Palestinians in Gaza City and surrounding areas toward evacuation zones in the southern part of the strip.
