AP: The Associated Press quoted officials that the US Navy has instructed one of its destroyers to sail towards the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, following the Israeli attack on Iran. In the same context, US President Donald Trump is holding a meeting with senior National Security Council officials to discuss the latest developments, according to the American agency.

WASHINGTON POST: The Washington Post, quoting informed sources, reported that Israeli hospitals have imposed a state of high alert and transferred patients to underground facilities, in anticipation of any potential attacks from Iran.

WALL STREET JOURNAL: US President Donald Trump said in a statement to the Wall Street Journal that the United States was aware of Israel’s plans to attack Iran. Trump added that he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Thursday, and will have another call with him today to follow up on developments.

JOINT ACTION COORDINATION FOR GAZA: The “Joint Action Coordination for Gaza” stated that East Libya security forces stopped the Convoy of Steadfastness at the entrance to Sirte, citing the need to await approval from Benghazi.

ISRAELI MEDIA: Yedioth Ahronoth quoted a military official: “Many in the defense establishment do not believe a word Netanyahu says, even behind closed doors. There is an unprecedented crisis of trust between Netanyahu and senior defense officials.”

HAMAS:

“We welcome the UN General Assembly resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza, opening humanitarian corridors, and delivering aid. The overwhelming vote in the General Assembly in favor of the resolution is a political and moral victory for our steadfast people and proof of the occupation’s failure.

“The overwhelming vote in the General Assembly exposed the fallacy of Israel’s self-defense claims.

“The overwhelming vote in the General Assembly is a decisive response to Washington’s position, which used its veto in the Security Council days ago. The American position is desperate and isolated in the face of the international will that stood by the Palestinian right and rejected massacres and starvation.”

The UN General Assembly Resolution on Gaza calls for:

The necessity of accountability to ensure Israel respects its obligations under international law.

Demanding an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire to be observed by all parties.

Condemning the use of starvation as a weapon and the unlawful deprivation of aid.
Demanding Israel end the siege, open crossings, and ensure aid access.

UN: The United Nations General Assembly adopted Spain’s draft resolution concerning Gaza.
