He urged for proactive and constructive intervention by the BRICS member countries to halt the attacks in the Gaza Strip, prevent crimes against humanity, and hold the aggressors accountable.
The letters highlighted the illegal usurpation of Palestinian lands, mass killings, destruction of homes and farms, assaults on medical facilities, as well as the arrest, torture, and humiliation and attacking the dignity of men, women, and even children by the occupying regime.
Amir-Abdollahian stressed that these actions are part of the crimes committed against the oppressed Palestinian people.
Emphasizing the pivotal role of BRICS and other significant post-western alliances like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Eurasian Union, SICA, ASEAN, and others, Amir-Abdollahian urged these organizations to prioritize the dire situation in Gaza.
He called for urgent measures to address the most critical issues within the current global order, aiming to establish justice for the oppressed, hold accountable those responsible for international crimes, and create a just and equitable world order.

Amir-Abdollahian highlighted the crimes of the Israeli regime and the process of killing civilians and defenseless people in Palestine. He praised the valuable suggestions within the statement from the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa, particularly emphasizing the urgent need for the International Criminal Court to initiate proceedings concerning the massacre of children in Gaza. Additionally, he endorsed the proposal to establish a rapid protection force to shield the civilian population from the occupying regime's bombardment. Amir-Abdollahian considered these ideas commendable and suggested that independent countries should follow them as a model.
