Germany’s failure to secure a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council — for the first time in decades — is a stark rebuke from the international community, said Baqaei in his X account on Friday.
“It reflects growing global outrage over the German ruling establishment’s irresponsible, hypocritical, and complicit stance toward the genocide in Gaza and US-Israel’s military aggression against Iran,” he added.
Germany, one of the largest suppliers of lethal weapons to Israel, has consistently justified the genocide of Palestinians, the official noted.
When the Israeli regime launched its aggression on Iran, he said, Berlin refused to condemn it; instead, it shamelessly described it as “dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us.”
The world is changing, Baqaei said, noting that nations are no longer judging governments by their lofty rhetoric about international law, but by their actual behavior.
“Those who choose to ignore this shift will inevitably pay a heavy diplomatic price.”
