A source familiar with the meetings told Agence France-Presse, on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, that Araqchi would hold meetings with Qatari officials regarding Gaza, Lebanon, and efforts to reduce regional tensions.
Araqchi’s visit to Qatar comes amid Israel’s threat to respond to Iran’s October 1 launch of around two hundred missiles at Israel, in a move it said was in retaliation for the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah in a suburb south of Beirut with one Israeli Strike on September 27, and Ismail Haniyeh, president of the political office of Hamas in Tehran in July in an operation attributed to Israel.
Israel has intensified its airstrikes on several Hezbollah targets in Lebanon since September 23, causing massive destruction and displacement, and announced the start of ground operations on the border in southern Lebanon on September 30.

He said, “All countries in the region must make every effort to free the region from disaster by stopping the genocide in Gaza and ending the occupation entity’s attack against Lebanon.”
