Iraqi, Iranian FMs discuss efforts to stop the war on Gaza, 20 OCT
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Minister of Foreign Affairs, Fuad Hussein, discussed on Wednesday with the Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir Abdullahian, the efforts exerted to stop the war in Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.
The Iraqi Foreign Ministry mentioned in a statement that Hussein met with the Iranian Foreign Minister in the Saudi city of Jeddah on the sidelines of the extraordinary open-ended meeting of the Executive Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation held at the level of foreign ministers on Wednesday to discuss the ongoing Israeli military aggression against the Palestinian people.
According to the statement, Hussein stressed that the efforts exerted must focus on ways to stop the war and protect civilians, indicating that conflict between Hamas and the Israeli occupying forces will affect the whole region.
During his meeting with the Turkish Foreign Minister on Tuesday, Hussein reaffirmed Iraq’s stance towards the Palestinian cause and the need to have urgent action taken to support the Palestinian people, who are facing extreme aggression, a complete war crime, and genocide after the Israeli occupying forces deliberately targeted civilians.
The horrific Israeli attack on Al-Mamdani Hospital in Gaza on Tuesday, which left hundreds—mostly women and children—dead or injured, was denounced by the foreign minister of Iraq as a horrible act that broke both international law and humanitarian law.
The Health Ministry in Gaza said that at least 500 people were killed on Tuesday after the Israeli forces targeted the hospital in central Gaza.
