Abbas says only US can stop Rafah invasion ‘disaster’
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – AFP
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas on Sunday said the United States is the only country capable of stopping an Israeli invasion of Rafah, saying it would be “the biggest disaster in the history of the Palestinian people”.
“We appeal to the United States of America to ask Israel to stop the Rafah operation because America is the only country capable of preventing Israel from committing this crime,” Abbas said at a global economic summit in the Saudi capital.
“What is happening in Gaza, what will happen in the coming days and what Israel will do by invading the city of Rafah… All the Palestinians from Gaza gathered in the city of Rafah and only a small blow remains to get them all out (of Rafah)… Then it would be the biggest disaster in the history of the Palestinian people.”
