Fox News
A member of the United Nations Human Rights Council omitted the Israeli lives lost when calling for a moment of silence to honor those who died in Israeli attacks on Palestine.
"On behalf of the IOC member states, we express our deep concerns over the loss of innocent lives in the occupied Palestinian territory and elsewhere," Mehdi said. "Regrettably, this huge loss of lives and unabated violence is a sad reminder of more than seven decades of illegal foreign occupation, aggression and disrespect for the international law, including UNESCO resolutions." Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
He went on to say the 16 years of what he termed illegal blockage of Gaza continued to raise questions over the applicability of international law and fundamental freedoms of the innocent civilian population. As a result, efforts to normalize the area is "breeding violence," Mehdi said.
