The foreign ministers of Iran and the UAE spoke about the unfolding events in Palestine on Wednesday night.

During the call, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian proposed convening an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

Emirati Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed pledged to raise the request in discussions with other Arab nations, as reported by the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

Meanwhile, amid talks with the UAE, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told Syria’s Bashar al-Assad that all countries that "openly normalized their relations with Israel under the pretext of defending Palestinian rights have been disgraced."

The remarks are made in the context of Hamas Saturday terror attack in which the Israeli death toll has risen to 1,300. The fate of approximately 150 individuals who were abducted and taken to the Gaza Strip during this devastating attack by the Hamas terror group remains uncertain. About 3,300 people have been injured, with 28 in critical condition and 350 in serious condition.

According to the Hamas-run health ministry, Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip have resulted in the death of 1,203 Palestinians and the injury of another 5,769.

The Israel Defense Forces have reported that they have eliminated around 1,500 Palestinian terrorists on Israeli territory.
