Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and visiting Lebanese President Joseph Aoun have called for urgent intervention to “save the people of Gaza” during a joint news conference in Baghdad, Al Jazeera reports.
The two leaders called for an immediate intervention to “save the people of Gaza” and denounced the continued Israeli assault on the enclave amid “suspicious international silence”.
Al-Sudani expressed Iraq’s full support for political consensus within Lebanon and condemned the “ongoing aggression by the Zionist (Israeli) entity on Lebanese territory”.
He also reaffirmed Iraq’s support for Syria and the preservation of its territorial unity.
Aoun emphasised Lebanon’s commitment to state sovereignty and social peace, stating the importance of preserving civil stability “without compromising the state’s authority”. He noted the delicate balance Lebanon seeks to maintain amid rising regional tensions.
