TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Permanent Representative to the UN Hossein Dehqani held a meeting with the president of the UN Security Council, and voiced deep concern about the Zionist regime's crimes against the Palestinian civilians.
During the meeting in New York on Saturday, Dehqani who headed a troika of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), also including the Egyptian and Venezuelan envoys as well as the Palestinian ambassador to the UN, referred to the Zionist regime's crimes, including the bloody attack on a UN school in Gaza, and underlined NAM's demand for the Security Council's immediate measures to prevent them.

"The continued inaction of the Security Council which is responsible for maintaining the global peace and security will discredit it before the eyes of the world people," he stressed.

The UNSC president, for his part, promised to inform other members of the Council of the views of the NAM's troika.

He also said that the views of certain UNSC members have disrupted the council's measures on the situation in Gaza.

Israel has been pounding the blockaded Gaza for 20 consecutive days, killing at least 1,050 people and injuring more than 6,000 others.

An elementary school packed with hundreds of Palestinian evacuees seeking shelter under UN protection came under heavy Israeli fire Thursday, leaving 17 people dead and more than 200 wounded, including women, children and infants.

In relevant remarks earlier this month, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani lashed out at the international bodies, including the United Nations, for keeping mum about terrorist actions in the Middle East, specially the Israeli attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip.

"You see that the entire world have remained silent about these big crimes," President Rouhani said.

The Iranian president said that the Israeli forces want to kill a nation for the death of three people while even they masterminded their death themselves.
