As part of its ongoing meetings, the Palestinian leadership held a meeting at the presidential headquarters this Wednesday evening, headed by the President of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, to discuss the latest developments in the ongoing Israeli aggression and its crimes against our people in the Gaza Strip.

The attacks on our people in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, continue.

The Palestinian leadership unanimously decided to adopt the following decisions:

▪ The leadership’s emphasis on adherence to all decisions taken on 7/3/2023 regarding the relationship with the occupying state, including the continued cessation of security coordination completely.

▪ The leadership affirms the legitimate right of our people to defend themselves, and that the mission of the Palestinian state institutions is to protect the Palestinian people, and everyone must bear their responsibilities while emphasizing commitment to international legitimacy and international law.

▪ Follow up on the cases brought, continue filing cases before international courts, and legally prosecute the occupation government at the international level for war crimes and crimes it has committed for which it bears full responsibility, in violation of international law and international humanitarian law.

▪ Emphasizing that our Palestinian people in Gaza are not alone, and we must stand with all our capabilities to protect our people in the Gaza Strip from the crimes of the occupation, and work with all concerned parties to lift the siege and provide medical and food relief materials, water and electricity.

▪ Emphasis on preventing the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, and considering it a red line that we will not allow to be crossed, just as the displacement of Palestinians from their homes in Jerusalem or the West Bank should not be allowed.

▪ Emphasis on protecting our people in the West Bank and Jerusalem from invasions by the occupation forces, settler terrorism, and attacks on Christian and Islamic sanctities.

▪ Emphasis on continuing political and diplomatic action on the broadest scale and at the highest levels in order to stop the aggression, lift the siege on the Gaza Strip, bring in relief materials, prevent displacement, and pursue a political solution that ends the occupation through an international peace conference based on international legitimacy resolutions.

▪ Emphasis on providing international protection for our Palestinian people by implementing Resolution 2334, heading to the Security Council and moving with all parties and international forums.

▪ Preserving the unity of the Palestinian ranks, rejecting strife and being drawn into chaos, preserving the gains of our people and public and private property, and not diverting the compass from the desired goal.

▪ Adhering to national constants and the Palestine Liberation Organization as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, adhering to international legitimacy and continuing to work towards the State of Palestine gaining full membership in the United Nations and obtaining more international recognition, and embodying the sovereignty of the State of Palestine on the ground in accordance with Resolution 19/67.

▪ Emphasizing that security and peace will not be achieved unless the Palestinian people obtain their legitimate rights, ending the Israeli occupation of the land of the State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, and resolving the refugee issue in accordance with United Nations Resolution 194.

▪ The Palestinian leadership decided to keep its meetings in session permanently.
