Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has given a speech. Here are some of his main talking points:
- What is happening in Gaza is greater and more horrific than the 1948 Nakba.
- We want a complete and comprehensive halt to the fighting in Gaza and the delivery of aid.
- The US responds every time with a veto against a vote to stop the aggression against Gaza.
- Netanyahu and his government’s plan is to get rid of the Palestinians. Israel wants to displace Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
- Our efforts towards Palestinian reconciliation have never stopped.
- We value the Egyptian and Jordanian positions that reject displacement.
- Hope is coming and Gaza will return to what it was and better, God willing.
