He urged the international community to hold Israel accountable for its actions in the occupied territories. Abbas highlighted a series of alleged violations, including settlement expansion, forced displacement, and acts of violence against civilians. He emphasized the urgent need for justice and protection for Palestinians living under occupation.
Calls for International Action
Abbas called on United Nations members to take concrete steps to ensure accountability and to support the rights of the Palestinian people.
