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.
