Iran Condemns Israel Forced Gaza Evictions, 'Greater Israel' Plans as Grave Regional Threat

Iran and the Grand Mufti of Oman have strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to establish a 'Greater Israel,' describing it as a historic and dangerous ambition that threatens regional peace and the Palestinian national identity. Iran labeled Israel's forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza as a war crime and genocide, criticizing international inaction and the support Israel receives from the United States and some European countries. The Grand Mufti of Oman urged Islamic unity and resistance against the Israeli regime, warning supporters of Israel to reconsider their stance. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stern warning to the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen, threatening severe retaliation for their missile and drone attacks on Israeli territory amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Israel carried out strikes on Houthi energy infrastructure in Yemen as part of its response to repeated attacks, emphasizing that any aggression towards Israel will be met with decisive consequences. These developments highlight escalating tensions involving Israel, Palestinian territories, and regional actors amid the broader conflict.
