Al-Sudani pointed out the depth of the bilateral relations between Iraq and Iran and the importance of working to strengthen them in the interest of the two friendly peoples.

He also stressed that the continuation of the aggression against Gaza will lead the region and its security to a more dangerous situation, calling on the international community to assume its responsibilities in protecting the Palestinian people and preventing the conflict from spreading throughout the region.

In its statement, Algeria expressed deepest condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims and wishes speedy recovery for the injured. It also renewed its full solidarity with Iran and Syria in the face of this blatant aggression that threatens to escalate the situation and deepen the state of insecurity and instability in the entire region.
