The top Irish diplomat hailed the efforts of the Islamic Republic of Iran in supporting the Palestinians and pointed out the measures that his country has taken in backing the recent Palestine-related UNGA resolution. 
Martinin also called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, stopping the violence, respecting international law, and the access of Gazans to humanitarian aid.
He also asked Iran to assist in the release of an Irish citizen in Gaza. 
Amir-Abdollahian, for his part, said that Hamas has agreed to the release of civilian prisoners and their release will be done when the conditions are suitable.
The Israeli regime has been attacking Gaza in the wake of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm by the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas on October 7, which was in response to decades-long violence against Palestinians and recurrent incursions into al-Aqsa Mosque. 
The death toll since the start of the Israeli regime’s carnage on October 7 has surpassed 8,000 with upwards of 20,500 Palestinians wounded.
Despite the unconscionable toll, on the 23rd day of the war on Gaza, the Israeli regime declared that the war had “entered a new phase.” On Friday, the Zionist forces intensified air, sea, and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Numerous international aid agencies confirmed they lost contact with staff in Gaza after Tel Aviv knocked out internet and communications in the occupied territory.
The UN General Assembly has called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. 120 states voted for the resolution, but the Zionists rejected the call.
