Iraq Premier Sounds Alarm Over Gaza Humanitarian Crisis

(MENAFN) Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani on Wednesday raised alarm over the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, cautioning that Israel's ongoing restrictions on humanitarian aid could result in "grave consequences."

His warning came during a meeting with ambassadors from European Union member states and representatives of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, according to a statement from his media office.

"We must all recognize the grave consequences of the continued suffering of the Palestinian people," he said.

Commenting on the indirect nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran, al-Sudani expressed cautious optimism. He urged a resolution through diplomacy, saying he hoped the talks would produce a fair and balanced agreement, adding that "escalation will not resolve this issue."

Reiterating Iraq’s backing for Syria, al-Sudani pledged continued solidarity with the "brotherly" Syrian people. He encouraged Syrian authorities to "pursue an inclusive political process based on the principle of citizenship."

He emphasized that Iraq is committed to playing a constructive role in the region through lawful, diplomatic, and humanitarian avenues, while avoiding entanglement in any regional conflicts.
