Israeli War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz on Saturday referred to the Islamic leaders' summit in Riyadh and the speeches of Syrian and Iranian leaders at this conference, stating that Bashar al-Assad, who has massacred his own people, or Raisi, who is an executioner of Iranians, cannot preach to us. According to the Times of Israel, Gantz reminded Arab leaders of the actions of the Islamic Republic against the Iranian people and others in the region, adding, 'Those who shook hands with the leaders of the Iranian regime should remember what the Islamic Republic has done.' He also held Hamas responsible for the displacement of the people of Gaza, emphasizing that regional leaders can assist Palestinians with humanitarian needs but must remember that peace requires a change of governance in Gaza. Leaders of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation member states on Saturday, November 20, called for an immediate halt to military operations in Gaza and labeled Israel as 'responsible for crimes' against Palestinians. Ibrahim Raisi, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Bashar al-Assad were among the participants at this summit. During the summit, Ibrahim Raisi supported the Hamas militia in its fight against Israel and urged Islamic countries to impose oil and commodity sanctions against Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also rejected international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza on Saturday, stating that Israel's battle against Hamas would continue 'with full force and capability.' Netanyahu said in a televised speech, 'Hamas has lost control over the Gaza Strip and has no safe place to hide. All Hamas members are marked for death, and Israel will continue the battle until final victory.' The 'boring' speech by Nasrallah; he said the Republic supports all 'resistance groups.' The Israeli army besieged the Shifa Hospital in Gaza; again, Hamas mortars are involved. The Israeli army evacuated two hospitals in Gaza; sick newborns from Shifa Hospital will be transferred on Sunday. Arash Sigarchi: Israeli Defense Minister's warning to Lebanon came hours after Hassan Nasrallah's speech. Hezbollah has employed new weapons in the war against Israel; Nasrallah: Pressure on Israel will continue. Reuters, citing informed sources: The United Arab Emirates maintains relations with Israel despite the Gaza war.
