Iran has urged Muslim countries to sever ties with Israel in order to put pressure on Tel Aviv to end its offensive in Gaza. The call came from the Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, during a summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Gambia on May 4.
According to Mr. Amir-Abdollahian, cutting off diplomatic and economic relations with Israel, as well as imposing trade and arms embargoes, is essential to bring an end to the conflict in Gaza. Many countries have accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza with the backing of the US and other Western nations. Israel, however, claims it is acting in self-defense and has the right to protect its citizens. While the US supports Israel’s military actions, it has urged its allies to take measures to protect civilians and expressed a desire for a future independent Palestinian state.
Several countries have already cut or suspended relations with Israel in response to the conflict. Türkiye has halted trade with Israel until a permanent ceasefire is reached in Gaza. The situation remains tense, with ongoing efforts to resolve the conflict and prevent further loss of life.
In conclusion, the international community continues to grapple with the complex dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with calls for action and diplomacy to bring an end to the violence and seek a lasting solution for all parties involved.
