TABNAK, Oct, 09: He is accompanied by a delegation during the visit. Araqchi is scheduled to meet with his Saudi counterpart Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud.

Issues of mutual interests, the latest developments on Lebanon and Palestine and making efforts to putting an end to Zionist regime’s crimes in the region are at top of Araqchi’s agenda during the visit.

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are facing relentless assaults as a result of Israel's ongoing military aggression that has killed at least 41,909 people and left 97,303 others injured, mostly women and children, as the war enters its second year.

In a recent report published by the Geneva-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, it is revealed that an estimated 10 percent of Gaza's population has been killed, injured, reported missing, or detained as a result of Israeli military assaults.

The report details the systematic acts of genocide committed in Gaza, such as the targeted killing of civilians in homes, shelters, displacement camps, and humanitarian-declared zones.

Having failed to achieve any of its military objectives in Gaza, following the year-long genocidal war, the Israeli regime has recently shifted its focus to Lebanon while continuing the genocide in Gaza.

According to reports, over 2,000 people have been killed in Lebanon in Israeli airstrikes across the country, and thousands of others have been displaced from their homes, mostly in southern Lebanon.

This comes as the Palestinian resistance groups and their allied groups in regional countries - Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq - continue their operations against the Tel Aviv regime and its Western backers.
