The president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, who has been in Ankara since yesterday, spoke at the extraordinary special session of the Plenary of the Turkish National Assembly. The Palestinian president said he would go to Gaza and then Jerusalem.
“We want to send a message to everyone that my life, our life is not more valuable than the life of a small child in Gaza,” Mahmoud Abbas said, adding: “I decided to go to Gaza with all my brothers to the Palestinian leadership.”
The Palestinian president then said: “I will do so and I am speaking here from an international platform and I am calling on the leaders of all Arab and Islamic countries and UN officials to do this humanitarian duty together. We say let’s do this for the sake of peace and to end the excuses for the occupation, if our goal is peace and stability for all. In the same context, I call on the Security Council and the UN, whose 80 resolutions have not been implemented, and I would like to say that after Gaza, God willing, I will head to Jerusalem. I will go to our eternal capital.”
