Abbas meeting with Sullivan: “We did not leave Gaza to return to it, and security and military solutions failed"
President Mahmoud Abbas received, at the presidential headquarters in Ramallah, today, Friday, US National Security Advisor Jack Sullivan.
During the meeting, the President stressed the need to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people through an immediate ceasefire and the genocidal war, especially in the Gaza Strip, in order to spare civilians from the scourge of bombing, killing and destruction carried out by the Israeli killing machine.
The President reiterated the need to open all crossings, 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 in treating thousands of wounded and providing their services to our people.
The President stressed the need for the American administration to intervene as well, to compel Israel to stop its aggression against our people in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, represented by the invasions of Palestinian cities and camps, the killing of civilians, the destruction of infrastructure, and to stop attacks on Islamic and Christian sanctities, and crimes of ethnic cleansing and other crimes. .
Mr. President touched on the abusive and repressive measures taken by the occupation authorities against our detainees, demanding that the occupation government be obligated to immediately stop these measures and violations against the detainees and our people.
The President reiterated his rejection of the forced displacement of the Palestinian people and its prevention, whether in the Gaza Strip or in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, noting that the West Bank is witnessing forced displacement and silent annexation of Palestinian land by terrorist colonizers and the occupation army, stressing the need for there to be intervention. The American administration is taking this seriously to prevent such policies that violate the resolutions of international legitimacy and international law.
The President stressed that the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the Palestinian state, and it is not possible to accept or deal with the plans of the occupation authorities to separate it or any part of it, stressing the need to release Palestinian clearance funds, and that our people in the Gaza Strip will have priority, and will not be abandoned. They are the responsibility of the State of Palestine, and we did not leave the Gaza Strip to return to it.
The President stressed our comprehensive political vision and the necessity of the State of Palestine obtaining full membership in the United Nations, and convening an international peace conference, stressing that peace and security cannot be achieved except through the implementation of the two-state solution, based on international legitimacy resolutions, which includes the entire territory of the State of Palestine in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and recognition of the State of Palestine, and that security and military solutions have proven their failure and will not achieve security and stability for the region.
