Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, says Gaza has brought Israel “to its knees” with the ceasefire, Al Jazeera reports.

“The small, limited Gaza brought the Zionist regime, armed to the teeth and fully supported by America, to its knees,” Khamenei said during a meeting with officials in Tehran.

Separately, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, criticised Trump’s idea to “clean out” Palestinians from Gaza to other locations, such as Egypt or Jordan.

“Political coercion and demographic manipulations will not be able to force the Palestinians to migrate,” Baqaei said in a post on X, adding that Gaza is the Palestinians’ “homeland and they’ve paid [an] extremely high price to remain there”.
