She said the silence of the international community, especially Western powers led by the United States, was “alarming and telling.” “This silence amounts to tacit approval,” she said.

Yet when it comes to Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza or its latest strike on Iran, that same urgency is conspicuously missing,” she said.
She also criticised Muslim countries for their lack of response. “Equally disturbing is the deafening silence of the so-called Muslim countries, who remain shamelessly non-existent in the face of such grave injustice. Their inaction is not just disappointing, it’s a betrayal of the very causes they claim to stand for,” she added.
