Thanks to the help of the United States and their allies, Israel managed to thwart Iran's retaliation which launched almost 300 drones and missiles against the Jewish State to avenge the raid attributed to Tel Aviv against Tehran's consulate in Damascus . The battle that took place over the skies of the Middle East involved several countries and also saw the intervention of forces deployed in the region by the United Kingdom and France, Jordan and pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen. For Tehran, which he called the ambassadors of the United Kingdom, France and Germany, “the issue can be considered concluded” unless the Jewish State decides to opt for a counterattack, in which the USA – as announced by Joe Biden to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – does not intend to participate. The situation is so serious that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has brought together the G7 via video link, while the EU High Representative Josep Borrell has convened an extraordinary Council of Foreign Ministers for tomorrow. Meanwhile, Russia urges everyone to “moderate” and Turkey asks Tehran to avoid a new escalation. However, the war that has been ongoing for over six months in the Gaza Strip continues, where the death toll now exceeds 33,700 dead and 76,300 wounded. Violence also continues in the West Bank, where 464 Palestinians have died and another 4,800 have been injured since October 7. “Enough war!”, warns Pope Francis instead. Below is the latest news from today, Monday 15 April 2024, on the war between Israel and Hamas and the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.
