Palestinian presidency warns of looming ‘Israeli’ assault, mass displacement in Gaza

The Palestinian presidency on Sunday warned of the growing danger posed by what it described as escalating ‘Israeli’ threats to launch a new, devastating military operation in the Gaza Strip.

The operation, it said, could coincide with what it called “the largest mass displacement” of Palestinians in the territory to date.

In an official statement, presidential spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh said the threats signal a potential new humanitarian catastrophe, urging the US administration to intervene immediately to halt the escalation and push for an immediate ceasefire, if Washington is serious about achieving regional stability.

Abu Rudeineh stressed that ‘Israeli’ policies—both in Gaza and through ongoing efforts to annex land in the occupied West Bank, are fueling further conflict and undermining stability. He warned that continued attempts by the occupation to derail de-escalation efforts threaten to sabotage international and regional efforts aimed at ending the aggression.

He added that any initiatives that fail to secure the rights of the Palestinian people, especially the establishment of an independent state along the June 4, 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, will not bring peace or security. Instead, they will deepen chaos and drive the region toward further escalation.
