Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas says the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip are subject to a "war of inhalation" by the "Israeli killing machine," which does not consider international law.
In an address marking the anniversary of the death of Fatah, PLO, and Palestinian Authority founder Yasser Arafat, which will take place on November 11th, Abbas demanded immediate international intervention to bring an end to the "aggression" against the Palestinian people and to hasten the provision of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
Abbas warned against the expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem. "We staunchly oppose it, and we will never agree to repeat the 'Nakba' of 1948 and the expulsion of 1967," the chairman stated.
"I say: in these tough conditions for our people, and we will never disown them, they are part of us, and we are part of them."
Abbas added: "We emphasize that the Gaza Strip is an integral part of the State of Palestine, and we will bear the full responsibility in a total diplomatic solution in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, and in the Gaza Strip."
