Iran's leader calls for Muslim unity and other Mideast news

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, called for Muslim countries to unite against Israel and the United States, describing both as enemies of Islamic nations. This comes six months after the U.S. and Israel conducted attacks on Iran that killed several high-ranking Iranian figures, including Khamenei's father. In the broader Middle East, tensions escalated further as Israeli settlers reportedly attacked an NBC journalist team in the West Bank, injuring them during an interview with a displaced Palestinian woman. Additionally, Israeli settlers detained a British activist, Finn Joughin, in the West Bank, claiming he had assaulted a child, though this allegation was denied by his lawyer. Meanwhile, an Israeli airstrike in Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least two Palestinians, including a three-year-old boy.

Approximately three million Palestinians live there, along with more than 500,000 Israeli settlers, whose presence is considered illegal under international law.
