Israel must be held accountable for its aggression: Abbas

Doha [Qatar], September 16: President of the State of Palestine HE Mahmoud Abbas has reaffirmed his country's solidarity with the State of Qatar in the face of the brutal Israeli aggression, stressing that harming any Arab or Islamic state is a harm to all and their collective security.
In his address to the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit, the Palestinian president slammed the assault as brutal and unjustified, affirming full solidarity with the leadership and people of Qatar. He strongly condemned the assault and urged the international community to uphold its responsibilities by holding Israel accountable for its crimes and repeated aggression against Arab and Islamic nations. He also called for concrete and deterrent measures to prevent further attacks.
The Palestinian president stressed that the key to security and stability in the region lies in stopping the war of genocide, displacement, and theft of land and resources, and ending the Israeli occupation of the State of Palestine within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. He added that the ongoing Israeli aggression against Palestine and Arab and Islamic countries, most recently Qatar, proves that Israel's extremist right-wing government cannot be a partner in achieving security and stability in the region.
This requires a decisive Arab and Islamic stance, as well as intervention from the United States and the UN Security Council to halt these rogue practices by the occupying power, he added. The Palestinian president expressed deep appreciation for the positions of all Arab and Islamic countries supporting the Palestinian people in efforts to end the aggression, provide humanitarian aid, and achieve liberation from occupation. He also praised the efforts led by Qatar and Egypt in this regard. He further thanked the brotherly and friendly nations participating in the international peace conference in New York, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia.
