During the call, the Palestinian minister “expressed his country’s condemnation of the Iranian attacks targeting the Kingdom, the Gulf states, and the region,” SPA said.

Hab al-Reeh also “affirmed the State of Palestine’s solidarity with all measures taken by the Kingdom to preserve its security, sovereignty, and the safety of its territory and citizens,” according to the agency.

Iran has launched far more missiles and drones at Gulf states than at Israel since the war began on February 28, according to an Al Arabiya tally showing that about 85 percent of Iran’s attacks have targeted Gulf countries, compared with roughly 15 percent aimed at Israel.

The United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28 that killed its supreme leader and triggered a war in the Middle East.

Tehran has since responded with drone and missile attacks across the region, including strikes on neighboring Gulf countries that say they are neither involved in the conflict nor have allowed their territory to be used to launch attacks.
