In his address to the United Nations General Assembly, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas expressed grave concerns over the situation in Gaza and the West Bank. He called on the international community to take action to stop the violence and destruction that has been plaguing the region.
Abbas highlighted the devastating impact of the conflict, stating that Gaza is now unrecognizable with 75% of its infrastructure destroyed. He urged world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel and criticized the US for vetoing resolutions against Israel in the UN Security Council.
Abbas condemned the use of weapons that have resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians and questioned Israel's membership in the United Nations, stating that it has not fulfilled the necessary conditions for membership.
The ongoing war in Gaza has been a focal point of discussions at the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York City. Leaders from around the world have gathered to address global issues and outline their countries' priorities.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to speak later in the week, with expectations that he will address the situation in Gaza as well.
