Top diplomats from the two West Asia heavyweights Iran and Saudi Arabia have discussed the latest developments in the Gaza Strip.
In a phone conversation on Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan exchanged views about holding an emergency summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) focusing on the Palestinian issue.
They stressed the importance of putting an end to Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and delivering constant humanitarian aid to the war-hit people.
The OIC said in a statement on Monday that an extraordinary summit will be held in Riyadh on November 12 at the request of the current chairman, Saudi Arabia, to discuss Israel’s attacks on the Palestinian people.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza announced on Monday that the death toll from the incessant Israeli bombardment of the coastal silver stood at 10,022 people, including 4,104 children and 2,641 women. It also said the number of those wounded over the past 31 days had risen to 25,408.
The regime has also cut off one of the most densely-populated places in the world from basic supplies, such as water, electricity, and fuel. Shortage of medical supplies and food has left 2.3 million Palestinians at risk of starvation.
