Abbas warns against attempts to displace Palestinian people
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has warned against attempts to displace the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, Jerusalem, or anywhere else.
In his speech at the Cairo Peace Summit, Abbas said: “Israel indiscriminately targets thousands of civilians, hospitals, schools, and shelter centers in the Gaza Strip.”
“We will not accept displacement,” the Palestinian president said, stressing: “We will remain in our land despite the challenges.”
Abbas said that “peace and security would be achieved through a two-state solution with Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian state, and a just solution to the refugee issue on the basis of relevant international resolutions.”
He said that the Israeli government “did not hear the calls for a cease-fire.”
The Palestinian president renewed his “rejection of the killing of civilians on both sides, demanding the immediate release of all prisoners.”
At least 31 countries and 3 international organizations have confirmed their participation in the Cairo Peace Summit, according to the private Cairo News Channel.
The war on Gaza, under Israeli bombardment and blockade since October 7, has led to a dire humanitarian crisis, with no electricity, while water, food, fuel, and medical supplies are running out.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an “immediate humanitarian cease-fire” to ease the “epic human suffering.”
