Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says the world has become 'desensitised' to crises in Gaza and Lebanon. He added that Israel is "the root cause of insecurity in West Asia" and has intensified "its atrocities" in Gaza and Lebanon. Baghaei stated that the obstruction of essential items for survival has brought displaced persons to a catastrophic point, and that reducing human lives to statistics is a dangerous phenomenon. He also noted that the International Criminal Court faces "intense pressure" from the United States for pursuing Israeli officials.
