Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian revealed on Sunday that documents obtained by the Resistance during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 confirm the Israeli plan to forcibly displace all Gaza residents to Egypt and West Bank inhabitants to parts of Jordan.
In a press conference from Tehran, after he met with his Omani counterpart Badr al-Busaidi, Amir-Abdollahian called on the United States to bear responsibility for its support of "Israel" in its brutal war against Gaza, which has been ongoing for nearly two months now and has killed over 15,500 people, over two-thirds of which are children and women.

He pointed out that Washington, which makes media statements about the necessity of preventing the annihilation of civilians, actually supports the annihilation of Gaza's population by greenlighting the occupation's aggression.
Iran's top diplomat noted that the new phase of the Israeli attack on Gaza and the West Bank was launched with the presence of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the Israeli war cabinet.
Amir-Abdollahian affirmed that Tehran is not looking to expand the geographic scope of the war in the region but warned at the same time against the repercussions of the Israeli ethnic cleansing plans against the Palestinian people.

Regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza, the Iranian Foreign Minister emphasized the necessity for all countries to increase pressure to stop the war on the Strip and the killing of civilians, including women and children.
He called on all Islamic countries and the international community to take urgent measures to open border crossings in order to let humanitarian aid and medicine into Gaza and thwart the schemes of forced displacement.
In this context, Amir-Abdollahian expressed hope that Egypt would open the Rafah crossing at the nearest time possible to thwart Israeli plans.
