President Mahmoud Abbas said on Wednesday that his country is "not for sale," renewing his rejection of calls to displace the Palestinian people.

This came in a speech at the beginning of a meeting in the city of Ramallah, in the central West Bank, held by the Central Committee of the Fatah movement.

Speaking about his participation in the African Summit in Addis Ababa, which concluded on Saturday, and his delivery of the State of Palestine’s speech, Abbas said that he stressed “the firm Palestinian position of rejecting any calls aimed at displacing the Palestinian people.”

He explained that "Palestine is not for sale, and no inch of the land of the State of Palestine will be relinquished, whether in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank or Jerusalem."

Abbas renewed his "adherence to international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative as the basis for any political solution to the Palestinian issue."

The Arab Summit in Beirut in 2002 adopted the “Arab Peace Initiative,” which stipulated the establishment of an internationally recognized Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in exchange for Arab countries recognizing Israel and normalizing relations with it.

Abbas also welcomed the statements of the UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, during his reception earlier on Wednesday of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, "in which he stressed the UAE's firm rejection of any attempts aimed at displacing the Palestinian people, and the necessity for the Gaza reconstruction process to be linked to a path leading to comprehensive peace," according to the same source.

In turn, the Central Committee stressed its "complete rejection of calls to displace the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip or any part of our occupied Palestinian land."

She stated that "these calls are doomed to failure in the face of the clear Arab and international positions that have declared their rejection of these calls as they are in violation of international legitimacy decisions and international law."

The Committee praised the positions of Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Arab positions that rejected calls for displacement and infringement of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

Since January 25, US President Donald Trump has been promoting a plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which was rejected by both countries, and was joined by other Arab countries and regional and international organizations.
