During the meeting, Abbas stated that peace and security in the region will be achieved through the implementation of the two-state solution based on internationally legitimate decisions, and that the Palestinian side is ready for this goal to be achieved, and that all attacks on Gaza should stop and international humanitarian law should be respected.
STOPPING ATTACKS AND HUMAN CORRIDOR ISSUES WERE DISCUSSED
Emphasizing that emergency humanitarian aid corridors should be allowed to be opened to Gaza and basic materials, medical supplies, water, electricity and fuel should be provided, Abbas stated that he is against the forced migration of Palestinians in Gaza.
Noting that the attacks of Jewish settlers on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank should stop and their raids on the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which caused tensions to escalate, should end, Abbas said that he was against the killing of civilians on both sides.
