Top Iranian diplomat departs for Turkey to attend D-8 session
Iran's interim Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani left Tehran for Istanbul to attend the upcoming D-8 group session in Turkish city of Istanbul which is set to discuss the Gaza war.
EghtesadOnline: The top Iranian diplomat is scheduled to take part in the D-8 session on Palestine, and hold meetings with his counterparts participating in the event.
An extraordinary meeting of foreign ministers of the Developing Eight (D-8) Organization for Economic Cooperation that will be held in Istanbul on Saturday holds significant importance for D-8 countries to present a united front against Israel’s war in Gaza.
The meeting, one of the key international platforms led by Turkey, is crucial for D-8 countries to take a collective stance against Israel’s ongoing attacks on the enclave since Oct. 7 last year, demonstrating that they will not remain silent against Israeli oppression.
Israel waged its brutal war on besieged Gaza on October 7 after Hamas carried out an unprecedented operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there. / Mehr
