Ramallah, September 23 (Xinhua) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday reiterated his condemnation of Israeli crimes and the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel. He resolutely stated that the State of Palestine is the only legitimate entity entitled to assume full control over post-war Gaza.
Speaking via video link at the High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Palestinian Question and the Realization of the "Two-State Solution" Principle, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia in New York, M. Abbas called for a permanent ceasefire, guaranteed delivery of humanitarian aid through the UN and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the release of hostages and prisoners, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and the beginning of reconstruction in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
The president said Hamas would have no role in governance, calling on the group, along with other militias, to hand over their weapons to the Palestinian National Authority.
M. Abbas expressed gratitude to the countries that have recognized the State of Palestine and urged all others to do so. He also called for support for Palestine's full membership in the UN.
The politician promised to hold presidential and parliamentary elections within a year of the war's end to ensure a transition to democracy. He also emphasized his support for drafting an interim constitution within three months to ensure the transition to full statehood.
M. Abbas called on Israel to return to the negotiating table “to stop the bloodshed and achieve a just and comprehensive peace.”
Last week, the UN General Assembly voted to allow M. Abbas to deliver a video message at the annual meeting of world leaders in New York after the United States announced it would not issue him a visa for the visit.
