Iranian and Palestinian foreign ministers have met to discuss Israel’s bloody military offensive against the blockaded Gaza Strip.
During a Tuesday meeting in the Iranian capital of Tehran, Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif exchanged views with his Palestinian opposite number Riyad al-Maliki over the situation in Gaza amid the Tel Aviv regime’s brutal aerial and ground assaults.

The discussions came ahead of a foreign ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement’s (NAM) Palestine Committee, which kicked off in the Iranian capital on Monday morning.

The one-day summit focuses on the Israeli regime’s relentless onslaught against  Gaza over the past 28 days and brings together delegates from 40 NAM member states.

More than 1,820 Palestinians have so far lost their lives and some 9,400 others have been injured since the beginning of the offensive on July 8.

Latest tallies show Israeli raids have so far led to the deaths of around 400 children. A third of the injured Palestinians are also children, according to Gazan Health Ministry sources.

Palestinian resistance fighters have retaliated against Tel Aviv’s fatal raids by firing thousands of rockets deep into Israel.

The Israeli military says three Israeli civilians and 64 soldiers have been killed in the conflict, but Palestinian resistance movement Hamas puts the number at more than 150.
