During a telephone call tonight with the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, President Mahmoud Abbas called on the UN to immediately intervene to stop the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip, which is currently under Israeli threats of cutting off its humanitarian needs such as electricity, water, and food; which are rights guaranteed by international law and legitimacy.
President Abbas stressed the importance of delivering relief and medical aid to our people in the Gaza Strip, stressing the need for the United Nations to intervene to prevent a humanitarian disaster in the Strip.
He urged the UN to carry out its duties recognized by international legitimacy and provide international protection for the Palestinian people.
The President reiterated that the only solution to all the escalation taking place in the region is the political solution of ending the Israeli occupation of the land of the State of Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital.
For his part, Guterres stressed that the United Nations is making efforts to provide urgent humanitarian relief aid to people in the Gaza Strip.
He said that the UN is conducting contact with all concerned international parties in order to stop the ongoing escalation.
