Ayatollah Khamenei also called for attention to the economy and the livelihood of people as a key domestic priority. He said everyone must avoid division and schism and called on parliament and the judiciary to help the new administration fulfill its objectives.
US-Israeli genocide in Gaza
More Palestinians are falling victim to the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza as the regime in Tel Aviv goes on with its unrelenting air and artillery strikes on the besieged territory. At least one Palestinian was killed and several others wounded in an Israeli bombing of an industrial area southwest of Gaza City. In a separate airstrike in the southern town of Abasan, a child was killed after regime warplanes targeted a residential building. The Israeli military also targeted several areas elsewhere in the Strip, leaving an unknown number of Palestinians dead and injured. Famine is also taking its toll in Gaza with many Palestinians, mostly children, dying of severe hunger and malnutrition. The Israeli aggression on Gaza began last October. Since then, more than 39,300 people have been killed and over 90,000 others injured.
