Speaking at the opening of the 32nd session of the Palestinian Central Council at the Ahmed Shuqairy Hall in Ramallah on Wednesday, Abbas said recent developments reflect a continuation of past catastrophes -- ranging from the 1948 Nakba and the 1967 displacement to the internal political division in 2007.
Abbas claimed that these threats are part of ongoing plans rooted in the original displacement of Palestinians.
These include halting what he termed Israel’s war of extermination in Gaza, ensuring the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory, stopping repeated incursions into West Bank areas, and preventing violations at Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, Hebron and across Palestine.
“The situation in Jerusalem, our eternal and sacred capital, is no different from the rest of the homeland,” he said.
Abbas also accused Israel of acting above international law, reneging on agreements signed with the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and fostering a climate of extremism and terrorism.
Reiterating his long-standing position, Abbas said peace and stability in the region depend on a political process based on international legitimacy and the end of Israeli occupation.
This vision, he added, includes the creation of an independent, sovereign, viable and contiguous Palestinian state, recognised as a full member of the United Nations (UN).
