I can't download anything on the app store it keeps saying verification is required when I do it it just goes back and asks the same thing. How do I fix this problem?

Hi Hussam30,
Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.
Re: "I can't download anything on the app store"
For the first time you use the App Store,
you need a payment method in your Apple ID account, even for free apps.
Check what payment methods Apple can accept in your country or region:

and

You may want to check you are signed in (to your iPhone) with your Apple ID:
"After you sign in, you can use the App Store, iCloud, iMessage, Apple Music, Apple TV+ and more".
