Abbas briefs the Canadian Foreign Minister on developments in the situation in Gaza

Palestine – Yesterday, Tuesday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas briefed Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie on developments in the situation in the Gaza Strip, which is subject to an ongoing Israeli war despite the advent of the month of Ramadan.

This came during Abbas’s reception of the Canadian minister at the presidential headquarters in Ramallah, according to the official Palestinian News Agency, which did not specify the details of the visit.

The agency said that Abbas received the Canadian minister at the presidential headquarters in Ramallah, and briefed her “on the latest developments in the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, especially in the Gaza Strip, and the efforts made to immediately stop the war of genocide to which our people are being exposed.”

Abbas stressed the importance of accelerating the introduction of humanitarian, relief and medical aid into the Gaza Strip, and increasing it so that shelter centers and hospitals can perform their role.

He renewed the State of Palestine’s refusal to displace any Palestinian citizen, whether in the Gaza Strip or the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Abbas stressed that “the Israeli occupation authorities must stop their ongoing practices and attacks against the Palestinian people in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, especially imposing restrictions on the entry of worshipers to Al-Aqsa Mosque during the holy month of Ramadan, and the crimes of terrorist settlers against our defenseless Palestinian people.”

He pointed out that security and peace are achieved by the State of Palestine obtaining full membership in the United Nations by a decision of the Security Council, and the complete withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from the territory of the State of Palestine, with its capital in East Jerusalem, on the lines of June 4, 1967.

Ramadan falls this year, while Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, leaving tens of thousands of civilian casualties, most of them children and women, a humanitarian catastrophe, massive infrastructure destruction, and famine in a number of areas, which led to Tel Aviv appearing before… International Court of Justice on charges of “genocide”.
