The Palestinian presidency on Sunday urged the international community to intensify its efforts to end the bloody conflict in the Gaza Strip, accusing Israel of massacres, destruction and massive displacement.
RAMALLAH, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) — The Palestinian presidency on Sunday urged the international community to step up efforts to end the bloody conflict in the Gaza Strip, accusing Israel of massacres, destruction and massive displacement.
Under the leadership of President Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority has been working since day one to end the conflict and spare Palestinians from devastation, presidential spokesperson Nabil Abou Roudeina said in a statement to the WAFA news agency.
The Israeli offensive has caused the death, injury, detention and disappearance of more than 200,000 people, he said.
President Abbas is holding intensive discussions with Arab and international parties to accelerate the establishment of a ceasefire and implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 2735, he added.
Palestinian leaders believe it is time to force the occupying state to accept an end to its global conflict against the people of Gaza and to put an end to ongoing Israeli violations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Mr. Abu Rudeina.
The Palestinian presidency spokesperson stressed that security and stability in the region depended on respecting “Arab and international legitimacy,” urging major countries to act immediately to uphold UN resolutions and end to Israel’s “impunity”.
The new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict erupted on October 7, 2023 following an unprecedented escalation between the Israeli army and Hamas, which resulted in large-scale clashes. The conflict has caused massive destruction in the Gaza Strip and an unprecedented number of civilian casualties.
