«Stop Iran». Mass grave found in Khan Yunis

Palestinian Civil Defense claims to have recovered 180 bodies from a mass grave inside the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, two weeks after Israeli forces withdrew from the area. Al Jazeera reports it.

First the Colosseum then the Eiffel Tower targeted by Iranian missiles. The provocative alert comes from Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz who, in a post on social media, launched a warning to the “capitals of the world”, including Rome and Paris, about the risk of potential attacks by Tehran after the recent raid carried out by the Pasdaran with drones and missiles on Israel in retaliation for the attack attributed to Israel on the consulate in Damascus. “Iran’s recent attack on Israel is just a preview of what cities around the world can expect if the Iranian regime is not stopped,” the minister wrote on Iranian «a terrorist organization», as well as «sanctioning the Iranian ballistic missile program». Everything, according to Katz, must be done “before it is too late”. Accompanying it is a photo depicting an image of the Colosseum on which six missiles are about to hit. From Rome to Paris. Hours later, the same head of Foreign Affairs of the Jewish State released an identical message, this time addressing it to the French, and posting the symbolic monument of the Ville Lumière. Then the warning written in English, French and Hebrew “Stop Iran” addressed to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, to the Italian Minister, Antonio Tajani, and to their German, French and English counterparts. In the video, with the Eiffel Tower in the background, in the foreground there is a quiet scene of a gentleman about to have a croissant and a cappuccino, interrupted by a gunshot. The head of Israeli diplomacy then asked his EU counterparts “to impose sanctions on the Iranian missile project”. Announcing it on X, Katz added that «the project endangers the world. We must stop Iran before it is too late.” Iranian missiles, he recalled, “have a range of up to 3 thousand kilometers”. The impression, according to some observers, is that Israel did not appreciate the request for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which arrived in recent days from Rome. He does not say he is worried but invites Tajani to “avoid panic” and reiterates his commitment to de-escalation, not ruling out a conversation with the Iranian minister “in the next few days”. «I don’t think there is any possibility of an attack on the West» by Iran «which also makes serious mistakes but we must avoid creating panic», underlined the head of Foreign Affairs, adding that «more than worrying, we need to worry ». Tajani then recalled the recent G7 meeting, where they worked for “de-escalation, trying to use all possible diplomatic tools to prevent the situation from worsening”, reiterating the commitment to “continue working to achieve the ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages and humanitarian aid for the civilian population.” The final objective, he insisted, “is not to erase Israel, a friend of Italy”, but to have “two peoples and two states that recognize each other”.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz asked his EU counterparts “to impose sanctions on the Iranian missile project.” Katz himself announced it, adding that «the project puts the world in danger. We must stop Iran before it is too late.” On X Katz recalled that “Iranian missiles have a range of up to 3 thousand kilometres”. At the same time he gave instructions to the Israeli embassies in the EU “to increase the campaign against Iran in view of the FAC meeting of European foreign ministers tomorrow to discuss sanctions”.

The death toll from the Israeli raid during the night against several houses in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip continues to rise: according to the Associated Press cited by the Guardian, authorities on site report 22 deaths, of which 18 are minors.

«I don’t think there is a possibility of an attack on the West» by Iran «which even makes serious mistakes, giving drones to Russia, giving drones and weapons to Hezbollah is not good. We must avoid creating panic”: this is how Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani commented on the photo posted on X by his Israeli colleague Israel Katz with missiles launched on the Colosseum. “There are also other European objectives – says the minister referring to the second post with the Eiffel tower – More than worrying, we need to worry”. The commitment is for de-escalation, he said, not ruling out a conversation with the Iranian minister “in the next few days”

US military aid to Israel is “green light for aggression” in Gaza. Hamas says so.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, after the post about X with Iran’s missiles on the Colosseum in Rome, spread the same message this time with the Eiffel Tower. The writing, in English, French and Hebrew, says: “Stop Iran before it is too late” addressed to US secretary of state Antony Blinken, the Italian, Antonio Tajani, German, Baerbock, French Sejourne and English ministers David Cameron. In the video, with the Eiffel Tower in the background, in the foreground there is a quiet scene of a gentleman about to have a croissant and a cappuccino, interrupted by a gunshot.

«I continue to follow the situation in the Middle East with concern, and also pain. I renew the appeal not to give in to the logic of claiming war. Instead, let the paths of dialogue and diplomacy prevail, which can do a lot.” Thus the Pope at the recitation of the Regina Caeli. “I pray every day for peace in Palestine, in Israel – he continued – and I hope that those two peoples can soon stop suffering”. “And let’s not forget the tormented Ukraine, which suffers so much from the war,” added Francis.

“Sanctions must not be imposed on the Israel Defense Forces.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this referring to US intentions towards the ‘Netzach Yehuda’ Battalion. «In recent weeks – he said on X – I have worked against sanctions on Israeli citizens, including in my conversations with senior officials of the American government. At a time when our soldiers are fighting the monsters of terror, the intention to sanction an IDF unit is the height of absurdity and a low moral standard.” “The government led by me will act with all means against these moves.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and his Omani counterpart, Sayyid Badr Al-Busaidi, have called for international efforts to establish an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and send humanitarian aid to the enclave: IRNA reports. During a telephone conversation held last night, Oman’s Foreign Minister condemned Israel “for its destabilizing acts in the region”. “Ending the Zionist regime’s war crimes in Gaza is the only way to restore security in West Asia,” he added. Omani authorities have acted as mediators between Iran and the United States, especially during the recent conflict between Iran and Israel.
