Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met Friday in Amman with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on the latest escalation in Gaza. President Abbas discussed the “need” to immediately stop the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, protect them, and completely reject the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, adding that a displacement would mean anothet catastrophe or what the Palestinians call “Nakba.” Abbas said the Israelis must allow the opening of urgent humanitarian corridors to the Gaza Strip to provide medical supplies and deliver Water, electricity and fuel for civilians there. He warned, according to what was reported by the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa), of a humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip as a result of the cessation of all humanitarian services in the Strip and the cessation of the only power generation plant, calling for stopping the terrorism of Jewish “colonizers” against the Palestinian people in the Palestinian cities, villages and camps in the oxcupoed West Bank and stopping extremist incursions into the Al Aqsa Mosque, which are causing an escalation of the situation. He added that security and peace are achieved by giving the Palestinian people their legitimate rights and the necessity of going for a political solution and implementing the two-state solution based on international legitimacy, freedom and independence for the Palestinian people in their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital on the 1967 borders.
