International outrage growing after two Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza’s Al-Nasser Hospital on Monday, killing nearly two dozen people, including five journalists.

Francesca Albanese stressed if western journalists do not stand in solidarity and demand urgent access to Gaza, they will have failed their role in these historic moments. Also, Head of the UN agency for Palestinian Refugees, Philippe Lazzarini says Israel is silencing the last remaining voices reporting about children dying silently amid famine. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has also strongly condemned the airstrikes as horrific.

'Europe can't activate snapback'
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says no European state has the right to reinstate sanctions by the UN Security Council against the Islamic Republic.

He said Iran will not allow the issue to be used as a psychological warfare against the Iranian nation. Baqaei made the remarks during his weekly presser in Tehran. He referred to negotiations with Europe as well, saying the talks revolve around the removal of sanctions.
