Abbas calls for US to help end Israel’s operations in Gaza

The UN Security Council must live up to its responsibility and obligation to put an end to this belligerent war on our people without further delay. We call on the US administration to put an end to Israel’s aggression, the occupation, violation and desecration of our holy sites. We need, and we seek international protection for our unarmed civilians. The West Bank and Jerusalem are coming under daily attacks by occupation forces as well as illegal settlers. No military and security solutions are acceptable as they have all failed. We categorically reject any efforts to displace our people from Gaza or the West Bank.
