Mahmoud Abbas appeals to other countries to stop what he called a ‘genocidal war’ against a place and people he said had been totally destroyed
Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas addresses the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly on Sept. 26 at UN headquarters.The head of the Palestinian Authority denounced Israel and its offensive in the Gaza Strip in front of world leaders Thursday, appealing to other nations to stop what he called a “genocidal war” against a place and people he said had been totally destroyed.
Abbas strode to the podium to loud applause and a few unintelligible shouts. His first words were a sentence repeated three times: “We will not leave. We will not leave. We will not leave.” Abbas has had little influence in Gaza since Hamas overthrew his forces and seized power of the territory in 2007. The U.S. has said a reformed Palestinian Authority should play a future role in Gaza, but Israel does not consider him a reliable partner and has ruled that out.
