TEHRAN, Nov. 05 (MNA) – The Iraqi media sources reported on Sunday that the country's Prime Minister Muhammed S. Al-Sudani is set to travel to Tehran on Monday.

According to the reports, Al-Sudani will visit Tehran first and then he will travel to the capitals of several Arab countries along the Persian Gulf.

The reports said that discussing the latest development in Gaza is on the agenda of this trip. 

Earlier on Saturday, Iraq’s Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani said the “massacres” committed by Israel in Gaza prove that the international community had failed to perform its role. Iraq is a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause and Sudani has several times condemned the lack of global support for justice for Palestinians.

He said that the Palestinian cause “represents the most established and stable aspect of our positions because it is the permanent right to the occupied land and holy sites.”

Israel has been bombing Gaza since October 7, when the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm in the occupied territories in response to the Israeli regime’s intensified crimes against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

Israel has so far killed at least 9,488 Palestinians, including nearly 3,900 children and 2,509 women. Over 24,160 Palestinians have been wounded.
