Palestinian President Abbas, in a video address to the 81st UN General Assembly general debate on the 24th, called for a ceasefire in Gaza and urged the international community to accelerate implementation of a two-state solution based on international law and UN resolutions. He said the Palestinian side welcomes U.S. President Trump’s 20-point plan to end the Gaza conflict, accepts UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and a second-phase Gaza ceasefire roadmap, but lamented that none of these measures has been implemented. Abbas said Palestinians need a substantive process to end the illegal occupation and secure freedom and self-determination.
