Imagine a global hotline buzzing: Iran's FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres 📞 exchanged views on the situations in Gaza and Yemen during a phone call on Monday.
Araghchi stressed the international community's responsibility to stop what he called Israel's violations of the ceasefire with Hamas and to ensure humanitarian aid reaches people in Gaza 🕊️. He also condemned Israel's aggression against Yemen and called for deeper cooperation with the UN to boost regional stability.
Guterres echoed the call for ongoing diplomatic talks to guarantee security and stability across the region 🤝. His message: peace isn't a one-time deal – it's a marathon of negotiations.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces said they struck southern Gaza after accusing Hamas of firing an anti-tank missile at troops working in Rafah, calling it a blatant violation of the ceasefire. The IDF warned of a firm response 🚨.
Palestinian sources reported intensive air raids east of Rafah and challenges for ambulance crews trying to reach affected areas 🚑. Following the incident, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed security officials to act forcefully in the Gaza Strip.
