Iran Press/West Asia: A Palestinian presidency statement, cited by the official Wafa news agency, called on the Arab League “to hold an emergency meeting at the level of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs given the ongoing Israeli genocidal aggression, forced displacement, and starvation of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip”.
It cited Israel’s “aggressive policies” aimed at separating the north from the rest of the Strip as it deploys “starvation as a method of warfare against Palestinians to displace them from their lands and houses”.
In early October, Israel launched a large-scale ground operation in northern Gaza. Residents have accused the army of depopulating the towns of Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon as well as the Jabalia refugee camp.
