ALBAWABA - In a recent phone call with Josep Borrell, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Iran's Foreign Minister, Huseyin Emir Abdullahiyan, issued a cautionary message regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza. 

He emphasized that unless Israel ceases the "war crimes" committed against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, there is a possibility of the regional conflict deepening.

According to reports from Al Jazeera, Abdullahiyan stressed that if Israel's actions are not halted, the scope of the war in the region could expand further. This statement comes amidst heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Israel engaged in military operations in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, in a recent press conference, stated that Israel is committed to continuing the conflict with full force. He announced ongoing military operations against Hamas, targeting over 400 locations in the past 24 hours.

Netanyahu insisted that the war will persist until all objectives are achieved and underscored the necessity of a ground operation to reach these goals.

As the situation unfolds, the international community closely watches the developments in the region, with concerns growing over the potential escalation of the conflict.
