The Palestinian Authority has firmly stated its position in response to US President Donald Trump's suggestion of a US takeover of Gaza. The Authority emphasized that it will not allow the rights of Gazans to be infringed upon, as reported by state news agency Wafa. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas expressed that the rights of the Palestinian people, which have been fought for over decades with great sacrifices, must be protected.
Abbas highlighted that any potential US takeover of the territory would constitute a serious violation of international law. He reiterated his support for a two-state solution and emphasized that the Palestinian people are unwavering in their commitment to their land, rights, and holy sites.
In a show of solidarity, Abbas welcomed the stance taken by Saudi Arabia, which rejected the US plan and reaffirmed its steadfast support for the establishment of a Palestinian state. The Palestinian Authority, which governs parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, continues to advocate for the rights and sovereignty of the Palestinian people.
