Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – In a joint press conference with the Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi, in the Iranian capital, Tehran, the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, stated on Monday that the international community failed to fulfill its commitments towards the people besieged in Gaza.
Al-Sudani said that his visit to Tehran reflects the strong partnership between the two countries, indicating that the most important topic he discussed with Raisi was the Palestinian issue, adding that the Palestinians in Gaza are facing genocide, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
“We share the same stance towards the Palestinian issue, and we are trying to achieve a ceasefire, which is the most important goal,” Al-Sudani clarified.
The Iraqi Prime Minister noted that the people of Gaza have been living in difficult conditions for decades, calling on the international community to stop the Israeli aggression against the Palestinians to contain the conflict and prevent further escalations in the region.
Al-Sudani clarified that Iraq submitted a proposal to set up a fund for the reconstruction of Gaza, adding that Iraq is communicating with the countries of the region regarding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
“We are working hard to open corridors to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged people in Gaza. Iraq dispatched relief convoys to the people of Gaza,” the Iraqi Prime Minister added.
