Iran Press/ Europe: The meeting between the Egyptian Ahmed Aboul-Gheit and the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will include a wide range of topics, with a special focus on the escalation of tensions in the Gaza Strip.
Aboul-Gheit has called for an immediate stop to the escalation of tensions against the Gaza Strip, emphasizing what he had previously warned many times, that the "continued implementation of the violent and extreme policies of the Zionist regime" is a ticking time bomb that would deprive the region of any serious opportunity for stability.
The Russian spokeswoman of the Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova stated that the Russian side expresses its serious concerns about the escalation of tensions in the region, noting that the only diplomatic solution is the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
On Saturday, October 7, 2023, Al-Qassam Battalions, the military wing of Hamas, announced the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation by launching thousands of rockets from the Gaza Strip.
The death of over 600 Israelis has so far been officially confirmed.
