The Mufti of Iraq, Sheikh Mahdi Al-Sumaidaie, said in a speech during the Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous conference "Waad Al-Haqq 6" held in Beirut that what is happening in Gaza is a relentless Israeli campaign meant to strike Muslims.
He added that "not a single Islamic nation in the world supports the Resistance other than Iran," affirming that had Arab nations united against the Israeli occupation, it would not have remained this long.
He also revealed that he had had 16 meetings with Martyr Qassem Suleimani, saying they had established plans to form an army of Muslims, comprising both Sunnis and Shia, and expressed hope that these plans would be brought to fruition, particularly in the Axis of Resistance.

The conference also hosted several prominent figures, most notably the Deputy Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, who affirmed that Al-Aqsa Flood is a legitimate Palestinian right. He reiterated its legitimacy and described it as the "flame of life that fuels the Resistance."
Meanwhile, Hamas Movement official Osama Hamdan said Al-Aqsa Flood was launched at a time when the occupation was preparing to bring an end to the Palestinian cause.

Gaza now
Today marks 150 days since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and 150 days since the Israeli warmonger unleashed its brutality and began its genocide in Gaza.
"Israel" committed 13 massacres since yesterday, killing 124 Palestinian civilians, and injuring 210 others.
As a result of "Israel's" continued aggression on Gaza, the total death toll has increased to 30,534 martyrs and 71,920 injured, as reported by the Ministry of Health.
Thousands of civilians remain stuck beneath the rubble, while Israeli occupation forces obstruct civil defense and rescue teams, making it impossible for them to reach victims.
