In solidarity, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani emphasized the government's commitment to supporting Lebanon, reflecting the unified stance of all Iraqis, including religious authorities and various social components.

This statement came during a meeting with Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

At the start of the meeting, al-Sudani extended his condolences to Lebanon's government and people for the deaths and injuries of hundreds of innocent citizens due to the ongoing Israeli aggression.

He affirmed Iraq's readiness to assist Lebanon in various ways to help it overcome the current crisis, whether through political channels or humanitarian efforts.

He assured the Iraqi government would not hesitate to provide all necessary resources to support its Lebanese counterparts.
