Israel is trying to completely capture Gaza. Meanwhile, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has made a new announcement. Addressing the Turkish Parliament, Mahmoud Abbas said that he will definitely go to Gaza amidst the Israel-Hamas war. Even if he loses his life in it. Abbas has arrived to hold talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to end the Gaza crisis. In such a situation, what will Israel do, which keeps firing on the entire area.
Mahmoud Abbas said, I have decided to go to Gaza along with other colleagues of the Palestinian government and I will do so. No one can become an obstacle in the way of my decision. Even if I have to lose my life for this. Our life is not more valuable than the life of a child. Let us tell you that many innocent children have also died during the war in Gaza.
Gaza is completely ours
Abbas’s visit to Turkey came after a visit to Moscow, where he met Russian President Vladimir Putin. In his address, Abbas stressed that the Palestinian people will stand firm. We will not accept any solution that divides Gaza and the West Bank, as has been the case since 2007. Gaza is completely ours. There cannot be a Palestinian state without Gaza. Our people will not surrender.
What is Abbas doing in Türkiye?
The Palestinian leader discussed the ongoing war in Gaza with Erdogan. The two leaders discussed the genocide committed by Israel in the Palestinian territories and options for a permanent ceasefire. Abbas’s visit to Turkey and Russia comes at a time when Iran is threatening retaliation against Israel over the killing of Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh. This has increased the risk of further spread of the war. It is important to note that the Palestinian MP is the chairman of the Fatah party, which has long had differences with Hamas. In 2006, Hamas had a violent clash with Fatah fighters after winning the elections.
