Abbas rejects ‘Israeli lies’, tells world leaders that entire generations are being wiped out in Gaza
“Palestine will remain ours. And if anyone leaves, it will be the usurpers,” he declared.
He began by emphasizing that Palestinians have endured for nearly a year what he described as one of the most heinous crimes of our time.
“It is the crime of a comprehensive genocidal war that Israel is committing. A crime that has killed more than 40,000 martyrs in Gaza alone and thousands still remain under the rubble. A crime that has injured more than 100,000 people to this day.”
He pointed out that entire Palestinian families were destroyed, their surnames completely erased. He also emphasized that amid the onslaught, epidemics are spreading, clean water and essential medicines are scarce and more than two million Palestinians have been displaced, many forced to flee multiple times to escape. seek safety.
The number of deaths and injuries continues unabated, not only in Gaza but also in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
President Abbas emphasized that he was not speaking today “in response to the lies” of the Israeli Prime Minister, who told the US Congress in July that Israeli forces did not kill innocent civilians in Gaza.
“I ask you, who killed more than 15,000 children out of 40,000 people and an equal number of women and old people. And who is it that keeps killing them, I ask you?”
