Israel examining plan to use siege tactics against Hamas in northern Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly says

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has been speaking to the media in New York ahead of the UN general assembly. According to the Hareetz reporter Allison Kaplan Sommer, he said Israel “has created a real hell in Gaza” and that “the crimes of the Zionist regime in Lebanon, even though they are being committed out of frustration, will not be left without response”.

“The main hurdle in achieving ceasefire and stopping this war has really been the support provided by the US and Western countries,” Araghchi said, as he blamed western support for Israel being able to continue its devastating military actions.
