“Due to the expansion of the intensity of the war against Gaza’s civilian residents, expansion of the scope of the war has become inevitable,” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a telephone conversation with his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani on Thursday.
The war started after the territory’s resistance movements waged a surprise attack against the occupying entity, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, in response to its decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
Most recently, Gaza’s health ministry said the Palestinian death toll from Israeli attacks had climbed to 10,812. The victims include 4,412 children, 2,918 women, and 676 elders, while more than 26,000 people have been injured, ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra told a press conference in Gaza City.
Ever since the onset of the war, the Israeli regime has also conducted sporadic attacks on southern Lebanon, which have sparked a firefight between the regime and Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement.
Elsewhere across the region, Yemen’s Armed Forces have conducted several rounds of drone and ballistic missile attacks against targets lying inside the occupied territories in response to the Israeli regime’s unbridled aggression against Gaza.
The Iranian and Qatari officials vehemently condemned the Israeli regime’s attacks on Gaza’s civilians and voiced deep concern regarding the humanitarian situation in the coastal sliver.
The officials exchanged opinions concerning the available means of cessation of the Israeli regime’s savage aggression, immediate implementation of a ceasefire, and continuous transfer of humanitarian supplies to Gaza’s war-hit and besieged civilians.
They also addressed some of the initiatives that had been proposed so far concerning the manner of implementation of such a ceasefire.
