Iran's Foreign Minister describes US aid to Gaza rather gesture

The Iranian Foreign Minister said the US is rather taking the gesture of sending humanitarian aid to Gaza.

AhlulBayt News Agency:  The Iranian Foreign Minister said the US is rather taking the gesture of sending humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The Iranian Foreign Minister left Tehran for Geneva yesterday, Tuesday, to pursue the issue of Palestine and the humanitarian situation going on in Gaza due to the Israeli regime's war on the strip.

Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told reporters on Wednesday in Geneva that the US sends different types of arms, including banned weapons, to the Israeli regime but when it comes to sending aid to Gaza nothing significant happens in action.

Amir-Abdollahian said that the US claimed to send 500 trucks of aid daily to Gaza, but further investigation showed that every day, 25 or at most 40 trucks enter Gaza, 75 percent of it is water and lacks medicine, food and other basic items needed by the people of Gaza.

Referring to the prisoners of the war and Hamas' readiness for the exchange process, he said that the Israeli side has refused to accept the terms that could accelerate the release of the prisoners, trying to continue the war, killing, and genocide in Gaza.

Since October 7, the Israel regime has been hitting different parts of the Gaza Strips including the famous Palestinian Al-Mamadani Hospital in the Gaza Strip, among the other medical centers and schools it has so far hit in continuation of its 75-year crimes against the Palestinian nation.

The latest figures show that the number of people killed in Gaza reached over 11,500.

The Iranian Foreign Minister traveled to Geneva in continuation of diplomatic efforts related to the Palestinian issue at the international level, especially pursuing the humanitarian aid to the oppressed people of Gaza, as well as meeting and talking with some officials of the United Nations and the World Red Cross.
