Abbas Affirms Palestinian Land Rights
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas delivered a speech before the United Nations General Assembly, emphasizing that the Palestinian people remain on their land and will not accept displacement. He warned of a existential threat facing Palestinians in the West Bank. He stated that the people are facing the most dangerous phase in their history due to settler expansion, Israeli threats, and violations against holy sites. Abbas called on the international community to put an end to these assaults and to prevent the repetition of the tragedies of 1948. He stressed that the two-state solution is the only way to ensure peace, calling for a halt to settlements, the separation of Palestinian areas, and supporting UNRWA while rejecting policies that hinder its work. He also demanded full membership for Palestine in the United Nations, criticizing the inability to attend in person due to American restrictions. Abbas reaffirmed his commitment to peaceful resistance to achieve an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
