Today, Wednesday, President Mahmoud Abbas discussed the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip with Philip Gordon, the White House envoy and the National Security Advisor to the US Vice President.

This came in a meeting at the Palestinian presidential headquarters in Ramallah in West Bank.

Abbas stressed to the American official the need for "the American administration's immediate intervention and pressure on Israel to stop its ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip."

President Abbas said: "The Israeli killing machine has violated all taboos, by targeting civilians, hospitals, and shelter centers, and has not left any safe place for our people to take refuge from these massacres that are being committed without accountability by the international community."

He added, "We will not allow the forced displacement of our Palestinian people, whether in the Gaza Strip or in the West Bank, including Jerusalem."

The president called for "the intervention of the American side to prevent the attacks, murders, house demolitions, and displacement of Palestinian residents in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Jordan Valley areas that are witnessing silent and planned annexation by the occupation authorities and settlers."

He stressed the need to "double the entry of relief, medical and food supplies, provide water, electricity and fuel as quickly as possible, and provide the necessary aid so that hospitals and basic facilities can resume their work to treat thousands of wounded and provide their services in Gaza."

Abbas said: “We will not and have not abandoned our people in the Gaza Strip, regardless of the sacrifices. The Gaza Strip is an integral part of the Palestinian state, and the plans of the occupation authorities to separate, occupy, cut off, or isolate any part of the Gaza Strip are completely rejected and will not be.” It is permitted to be implemented.

He added, "Beginning to implement the two-state solution requires Palestine obtaining its full membership in the United Nations by a Security Council decision, and convening an international peace conference, in order to provide international guarantees and a timetable for implementation."

He considered that "peace and security are achieved by ending the Israeli occupation."
