Interim Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani has expressed “deep concern” over the dire situation in Gaza as Israeli bombardment of the strip continues, according to the Foreign Office.

In a telephone conversation with Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, Jilani discussed matters of bilateral importance and the regional situation.

FM Jillani emphasised the urgency of a ceasefire, lifting of the siege, provision of uninterrupted humanitarian assistance, including medical supplies to the people of Gaza, and the resumption of diplomatic efforts for lasting peace in the Middle East based on a just solution to the Palestinian question.
