Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has strongly criticized Israel’s aid distribution in Gaza, calling it a ‘cheap form of genocide.’ In a post, Khamenei condemned Israel’s actions, stating that Palestinians are forced to choose between starvation and being shot for food. He said, ‘A nation that once died under bombs worth hundreds of thousands of dollars now dies in food lines from bullets that cost mere dollars.’ The remarks come amid a critical humanitarian situation in Gaza, with numerous reports of Palestinian casualties while seeking aid. UNRWA Chief Philippe Lazzarini has also highlighted the severity of the crisis, stressing the need for immediate action.
