The Iranian top diplomat who was in the Qatari capital as part of a regional tour that has already taken him to Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria, earlier on Saturday met with his Qatari counterpart, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
During the meeting with Qatari counterpart, Amir-Abdollahian slammed Israel’s brutal massacre of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, saying that changes in regional conditions are possible if Israel’s crimes against Palestinians continue. He called the Israeli regime’s daily massacre of hundreds of Palestinians intolerable.
Meanwhile, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi held a phone call with the Qatari Emir on Saturday night during which he denounced the Israeli aerial assaults on the besieged Gaza Strip as war crimes, calling for an end to the regime’s genocide of Palestinian people.
He also held the US and other allies of Tel Aviv responsible for the atrocities committed by Israel against the Palestinians.
The Israeli regime called up an unprecedented 300,000 reservists, declaring a “long” war on Gaza in response to Operation al-Aqsa Storm. The operation was launched by the Gaza-based Palestinian resistance movements last Saturday in response to the occupying regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodshed and destruction against Palestinians.
The Gaza Health Ministry said 2,329 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed and 9,714 others injured by Israeli strikes.
This comes as more than 420,000 people are displaced within the Gaza Strip. A total of 270,374 out of 423,378 internally displaced people are located in UN shelters and schools.
