The Iraqi Foreign Ministry welcomed the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, calling at the same time to “save” the Gaza Strip in Palestine.
In a statement, the ministry expressed its “hope that this agreement will contribute to putting an end to the violence, destruction and suffering faced by the brotherly Lebanese people.”
The ministry affirmed “Iraq’s continued support for the Lebanese government and people, and its keenness to enhance stability in the region, stressing the importance of intensifying international efforts to ensure avoiding a new escalation and securing a decent life for the Lebanese people,” and called on the international community to “take serious and urgent steps to stop the ongoing massacres and attacks against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.”
