Speaking by video, he said that more than 220,000 Palestinians had been killed or wounded for almost two years of struggle, most of them women, children and the elderly, while two million people faced hunger under block.
More than 80 percent of houses, schools, hospitals, churches, mosques and infrastructure of Gaza had been destroyed, he added.
“What Israel is carrying out is not simply an aggression, it is a war crime and a crime against humanity,” said Abbas, describing him as “one of the most horrible chapters of humanitarian tragedy in the twentieth and twenty -first centuries.”
He also highlighted the growing violence of the settlers and the expansion of settlements in the West Bank, including the strategy of “Great Israel” to expand the Israeli territory, which said he threatened to “divide the West Bank”, “isolated Jerusalem occupied” and “undermine the solution of two states.”
Religious sites in Jerusalem, Hebron and Gaza had not been saved, he said, citing attacks against mosques, churches and cemeteries.
Condemn of October 7
Mr. Abbas condemned Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 against Israeli civilians, saying that these actions “do not represent the Palestinian people, or their struggle for freedom and independence.”
He stressed that Gaza was an integral part of the Palestinian State and that the Palestinian authority was prepared to assume all the responsibility of governance and security there, based on “a State, a law and a legal security force.”
“We do not want an armed state,” world leaders told that describes a vision of a “modern and democratic” Palestine “based on the rule of law, the peaceful transition of power and respect for human rights, the empowerment of youth and women.
As for the international community, President Abbas regretted that more than 1,000 UN resolutions in Palestine remained unpredictable, despite the fact that Palestinian leaders adopted peace agreements and recognized Israel from the Oslo agreements in 1993.
Israel, he said, had “systematically” undergo those agreements, while the Palestinians adhered to their commitments, including the rejection of violence and restructuring of national institutions.
He thanked the results of a high -level conference in New York earlier this week, co -presided by France and Saudi Arabia, and expressed their gratitude to the growing number of countries that recognize Palestine, urging others to follow their example and support the complete members of the UN.
He said that Palestine is ready to work with the United States, Saudi Arabia, France, the United Nations and all partners to implement the peace plan adopted this week, adding that “peace cannot be achieved if justice is not achieved, and there can be no justice if Palestine is not released.”
The Palestinians will never abandon their homeland or their rights, he said.
“No matter how much suffering lasts, it will not break our will to live and survive,” Abbas said. “The dawn of freedom will arise, and the Palestine flag will fly in our heavens as a symbol of dignity and firmness.”
