The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran congratulates the resilient people of Palestine as well as all supporters of the resistance in the region and the world on the historic victory achieved through the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

"So be patient, for the promise of Allah certainly is true. And do not be disturbed by those who have no sure faith."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran congratulates the resilient people of Palestine, as well as all supporters of the resistance in the region and the world, on the historic victory achieved through the Gaza ceasefire agreement. This agreement is the result of the unparalleled resistance, courage, bravery, and endurance of the great people of Palestine and Gaza in the face of one of the largest genocides and population displacements in history. It is also the outcome of the solidarity and unity of the people of Gaza with the honorable resistance and their steadfastness against the forced displacement of Palestinians.

For over 15 months, the occupying and genocidal Israeli regime has blatantly, systematically, and extensively violated fundamental international principles, human rights, and humanitarian laws, committing the most severe war crimes and crimes against humanity. The regime pursued the 'colonial eradication' of the Palestinian nation, a plan initiated eight decades ago with the support or silence of colonial powers, with unprecedented brutality. The regime crossed all legal and moral red lines, recording a new level of savagery in history. The insane killing of people, especially women, and children, the destruction of homes and vital infrastructure, the demolition of hospitals and schools, attacks on refugee camps and tents, and the targeting of journalists, doctors, and nurses were recurring patterns of crimes committed over the past 15 months, aimed at erasing Palestine and breaking the spirit of resistance.

During these 15 months, the Zionist regime was emboldened in its genocide plan against Palestine by the comprehensive and direct military, financial, and political support of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and several other Western countries. These countries ensured the impunity of the regime's leaders, preventing any effective action by the United Nations to stop the crimes of the occupying regime and disrupting international efforts, including those by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC), to prosecute and punish the criminals. Undoubtedly, these countries, as partners in the crimes committed by the Zionist regime, must be held accountable.

It is hoped that, under the shadow of the new development the assistance of the international community, and the effective role of responsible international actors, we will witness the full implementation of the agreed arrangements, including the complete cessation of genocide and killings in Gaza, the full withdrawal of occupiers, immediate and widespread humanitarian aid to Gaza, and the prompt start of the reconstruction process to alleviate the suffering of the resilient and patient people of Gaza.

In parallel with the cessation of genocide in Gaza, the international community must pay extra and sensitive attention to the gross violations of international law, humanitarian law, and human rights in the West Bank and the continuous aggressions of the occupying regime against the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The international community must seriously and effectively confront the tyranny of the Zionist regime throughout occupied Palestine and prepare the grounds for the arrest, trial, and punishment of the criminal leaders of the Israeli regime for committing the most severe international crimes under the jurisdiction of the ICC.

We send our greetings and respect to the proud martyrs of the resistance against the oppression, tyranny, occupation, and genocide of the Zionist regime, especially the martyrs Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Hashem Safi al-Din, and thousands of Palestinian, Lebanese, Iraqi, Yemeni, and Iranian fighters who sacrificed their lives for the

sacred cause of Palestine and the protection of the region against the expansionism, lawlessness, and criminality of the Israeli regime. We send greetings and regards to the great family of resistance and emphasize the continuation of their legitimate and rightful path.
