Abbas appealed for immediate action to halt the ongoing attacks by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) and the continuous terrorism by Israeli Occupation settlers against the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

He warned of an 'imminent explosion' if these assaults were not stopped.

Addressing the recent massacres committed by the IOF in Gaza, Abbas called on world leaders to take responsibility for ending the aggression and genocide against the Palestinian people.

He highlighted the widespread destruction of homes, schools, hospitals, places of worship, public facilities and infrastructure.

Abbas reiterated that the Palestinian people deserve to live on their land with freedom and dignity, and they will remain steadfast until they achieve their legitimate rights to independence and statehood, with Jerusalem as its capital.
