Talking to reporters, he said, "The Tel Aviv regime has practically turned the Gaza Strip to another Holocaust."
He regretted that such atrocities and Israeli state terrorism are being carried out on a systematic basis.

He denounced "silence and negligence of the UN Security Council regarding such war crimes and terrorist actions being perpetrated by Israel against the civilians living in Gaza Strip".

"The minimum care for principles of democracy, in which the Tel Aviv regime claim to believe, requests respect for the people's will."
He expressed the hope that the critical situation in the occupied territories would end through attention of the Security Council to its international responsibility to provide peace and security throughout the globe.

More than 24 Palestinians, including at least nine civilians, were killed late Friday and early Saturday in escalating
Israeli-Palestinian fighting.

A baby and two teenagers were among the dead, and dozens of people were wounded.

At least 57 people have died since clashes between Israel and the Gazan ruling Hamas movement spiked Wednesday.

At least 24 were civilians, the youngest a 6-month-old boy.

Hamas said the baby, Malak Karfaneh, died just before midnight Friday in an Israeli strike on Beit Hanoun.
