Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned this Sunday of the ongoing situation in Gaza, asserting that a second Nakba could happen in the near future if change doesn’t happen.
Amid the increasing violence by the Israeli military against Palestinians in Gaza, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned this Sunday that if the ongoing situation in Gaza continues, a second Nakba could happen in a not-remote future.
“The occupying state has rendered Gaza uninhabitable, and today’s events in northern Gaza are clear evidence of this. The Palestinian people are experiencing harsh and severe conditions. There is a second Nakba in Gaza. Our people are being subjected to a mass extermination unparalleled in history, with hundreds of thousands of martyrs and wounded, widespread destruction, displacement, hunger, diseases, and epidemics,” Abbas said, emphasizing also that the forced displacement scheme orchestrated by Israel’s far-right government “will not succeed.”
The Palestinian President further said that the threat of forced displacement continues to loom over the people of Gaza, and “we affirm with utmost clarity and determination that this scheme will not pass. We will not allow it to pass, relying on the resilience of our people and the support of our brothers and friends all over the world.”
