UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday accused Israel of waging a "genocidal war" in the Gaza Strip, saying the crimes would be written "in the pages of the international conscience as one of the most horrific chapters of the humanitarian tragedy of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries."

“I address you today after nearly two years in which our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip have faced a genocidal war, destruction, famine and displacement,” he said, addressing the UN General Assembly via video link.

M. Abbas emphasized that “Israeli occupation forces committed” genocide, during which they killed and wounded more than 220,000 Palestinians, mostly unarmed children, women, and the elderly.

The president also condemned the Israeli government's expansion of settlements in the West Bank, warning that it threatened the realization of the "two-state solution" for two peoples.

At the same time, the president also rejected “what Hamas did on October 7,” noting that such actions do not represent the Palestinian people or “their just struggle for freedom and independence.”

He emphasized that the Gaza Strip "is an integral part of the State of Palestine," and the Palestinian National Authority "is prepared to bear full responsibility for governance and security there." "Hamas will have no role in governance," Abbas added.
