President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the announcement of the success of Egyptian and Qatari efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

President Abbas expressed his satisfaction with this agreement, which was a priority for the Palestinian leadership since the first day of the aggression against the Gaza Strip, and expressed his hope that Israel would commit to stopping the aggression and completely withdrawing from the Gaza Strip.

President Abbas called on the international community to put pressure on Israel to adhere to this agreement, and to continue efforts aimed at ending the Israeli occupation of the land of the State of Palestine.
