Abbas was scheduled to participate in a four-way summit in the presence of US President Joe Biden, King Abdullah II of Jordan and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Presidency condemns the targeting of Baptist Hospital: a crime of genocide and a humanitarian disaster

The official presidential spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeina, strongly condemned the heinous crime committed by the Israeli occupation by bombing the Arab National Hospital (Al-Baptist) in Gaza City, which led to the martyrdom and injury of hundreds of our people.

Abu Rudeina said that the fall of this large number of innocent civilian victims in a hospital that is supposed to have immunity, confirms that this Israeli government does not respect any international standards and recognized laws.

Abu Rudeina stressed that this crime is added to the series of crimes committed by the occupation against our people since the beginning of the recent aggression against our people, which left thousands of martyrs and wounded, the majority of whom are children and women.
