While the United States enabled the attacks on Tehran, the United Nations Rapporteur for Palestine accuses the West of failing to uphold international human rights law
Even though inside the United States, Britain and the many Western European states the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) retaliatory bombing of military sites in the Islamic Republic of Iran on October 26 was greeted with praise, others largely within the Global South viewed the actions of Tel Aviv as a major threat to world peace.
Iran has taken a leading position in supporting the affiliates of the Axis of Resistance which extends throughout the West Asia region.
Since the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 2023, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) with the backing of the administration of President Joe Biden, has killed tens of thousands of people in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank. Since the end of September, the war has expanded exponentially into Lebanon where daily bombing and shelling by the IDF has resulted in the deaths and injuries of many more.
The displacement of 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has been a cause of concern for people around the world. In Lebanon reports suggest that 1.2 million people have been displaced in response to the IDF bombing operations with approximately 200,000-300,000 fleeing into neighboring Syria.
