Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) received a call this evening from Australian Prime Minister Anthony Norman Albanese, in which Abbas stated that what is happening in Gaza is a genocide that must be stopped immediately. This is what the Palestinian agency Wafa writes. Abbas stressed during the phone call that the killings and destruction of hospitals and reception centers, as well as the starvation of the civilian population, are the result of the siege of the Gaza Strip by the Israeli occupation, which, in his opinion, is also the reason why it is not possible to bring medical supplies and food or to provide them with water, fuel and electricity. Abbas stressed the need to immediately stop Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, noting the importance of bringing humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip as quickly as possible and the expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip or the West Bank to prevent those that do not occur will be accepted. Abbas reiterated the importance of recognizing the State of Palestine, stating that there is neither security nor a military solution for the Gaza Strip and that “Gaza is an integral part of the State of Palestine,” adding that this is not in the plans of the Israeli occupation authorities possible be accepted.
