Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian claims that if the Israeli army decides to enter Gaza, “the resistance leaders will turn Israel into a graveyard for occupation soldiers.”
His comments followed a meeting with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, reports Al Jazeera.
Amirabdollahian points out that while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talks a lot, he and his government are silent.
“Washington stepped forward to save the puppet. If the scope of the war expands, great losses will befall America as well,” the Iranian foreign minister emphasized.
The US, Israel and Egypt have agreed to a ceasefire in southern Gaza to coincide with the reopening of the Rafah border crossing, Reuters reported, citing two Egyptian security sources.
The Hamas media office says it has no information about an agreed humanitarian truce, reports Reuters.
More than 600,000 residents of the northern Gaza Strip have fled to the south after the Israeli military called on them to do so ahead of a ground offensive, an Israeli military spokesman said, and another spokesman called for pressure on Egypt to open its borders to refugees.
So far, about 5,000 people have died in the conflicts. In Gaza, 2,670 killed, and 9,600 wounded, in Israel 1,400 were killed and 3,500 were wounded.
