Iran's foreign minister, Hezbollah chief discuss Gaza war

In a meeting in the Lebanese capital Beirut on Thursday, the Hezbollah chief and the top Iranian diplomat exchanged views about issues in the region, particularly in Palestine and Lebanon.

Amir-Abdollahian outlined Iran's diplomatic efforts and consultations over recent weeks about possible ways to help the Palestinian people and stop the Israeli regime's war crimes against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

The Iranian foreign minister said the agreement reached between the Israeli regime and Hamas on the humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and the prisoner swap deal were the result of the Palestinian people's resistance and Israel’s desperation in the face of the resistance.

Nasrallah hailed the resistance of people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and reiterated the Resistance's full readiness in various fronts.

The Hezbollah chief expressed confidence that the Resistance would emerge victorious and the Israeli regime would suffer a decisive defeat.

According to Iran's Ambassador to Beirut Mojtaba Amani, Nasrallah and Amir-Abdollahian also held talks about possible future events in the region, efforts to stop Israel's atrocities against Gaza, possible scenarios regarding the war as well as the world's collective responsibility regarding "the historic and determining development."

On Wednesday, the Iranian foreign minister met with different Lebanese officials as well as the senior officials of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas in Beirut.

Upon his arrival in Beirut on Wednesday, Amir-Abdollahian said, "Today, we are in Beirut to consult with high Lebanese authorities about how to maximize security in the region and how to materialize Palestinian rights."
