NOURNEWS- The foreign minister of Iran lauded the D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation for supporting the Palestinian nation amid the Israeli regime’s deadly strikes on Gaza.
In a letter to D8 Secretary General Isiaka Abdulkadir on Sunday, the foreign minister appreciated a joint statement of a recent D8 commission in support of Palestine and the supportive measures of the D8 secretary general for the rights of the oppressed people in Gaza.
Amir-Abdollahian expressed Iran’s full support for the D8 measures to support the people of Palestine and exert pressure on the Zionist regime to stop the invasion of Gaza, lift the siege on the area, and end the occupation.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian Resistance movements 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 health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on Sunday said the death toll from the Israeli war on Gaza had risen to at least 17,997, most of them women and children. There were an additional 49,229 wounded.
Tel Aviv 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.
