TEHRAN -- Oscar-winning Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi has asked international organizations to stop the Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip.
“Israel’s action in Gaza is of a dictatorial nature and I hope the killings will stop very soon,” Farhadi said during a meeting a large group of Iranian cineastes held at the Tehran Blood Transfusion Center on Saturday to donate blood to the victims of Israeli bombardments in Gaza.
“Fortunately, the world has seen the crimes of the Israelis in Gaza and the people of the world have given a negative response to the inhumane behavior,” he added.
“As a member of the Iranian House of Cinema, I have a great deal of sympathy for people of Gaza deep in my heart, so I have attended this humanitarian gathering,” he stated.
Iranian artists and cineastes have organized several meetings over the past three weeks to show their solidarity with the people Gaza.
