TEHRAN: Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Hosseini Khamenei, calls for accountability of Israeli officials for their actions against Palestinians and urges an immediate halt to the bombing of Gaza.
Khamenei emphasizes that the Zionist regime’s officials should face trial for their crimes. These statements coincide with the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, now in its 11th day.
Israeli retaliation strikes on the Gaza Strip continued for 11th day that left at least 2800 Palestinians, mostly women and children, following Hamas attack on Israel for liberating its territories from the occupied forces.
Iran’s Supreme Leader also called for the Israeli bombing of Gaza to cease.
In a notable development, Hamas releases a video showing Israeli captives being treated as guests, offering a potential diplomatic gesture amid the heightened tensions. Iran warns that the escalation could lead to a broader conflict and urges Tel Aviv to cease the airstrikes in Gaza.
U.S. General Michael “Erik” Kurilla, overseeing American forces in the Middle East, makes an unannounced visit to Israel amid the intensified airstrikes by the Israeli Air Force.He assures Israel that the US military is equipped for the ongoing conflict against Hamas.
This visit comes ahead of President Biden’s scheduled visit to Israel and raises concerns about a potential ground invasion by the Israeli military in Gaza, despite international condemnation and concerns about violating international laws.
