Israel”he doesn’t deserve to be a member” of the UN, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said today in his address to the UN General Assembly, appealing: “Stop the genocide, stop sending arms to Israel»

“This madness must stop. The whole world is responsible for what our people are suffering in Gaza and the West Bank“, Abbas emphasized, almost a year into the war in the Gaza Strip.

“Israel, which refuses to implement the resolutions of the United Nations, does not deserve to be a member of this international organization“, he said at the same time, expressing his regret that the US is preventing Palestine from joining the UN, where it currently has observer status.

He attacked Israel numerous times, which he once again accused of “occupation” and “genocide” in the Palestinian territories.

“The possession will be over, over, over“, he said.

At the same time he stated that the Palestinian Authority should exercise its full jurisdiction in Gaza Strip and at all border crossings, including Rafa.

Abbas stressed that the Authority’s vision for a post-war Gaza includes providing relief aid there, the complete withdrawal of Israelis from Gaza and the return of displaced Palestinians to their homes.

The Palestinian president repeated his and the international community’s call for the resumption of negotiations aimed at a “two-state solution”, a process that had been frozen.

Abbas also attacked the US, Israel’s military and diplomatic ally, which continues to provide billions of dollars in aid, including for the Gaza offensive.

Washington”provided Israel with lethal weapons which it uses to kill thousands of innocent civilians, women and children“, Abbas emphasized, concluding that “this encourages Israel to continue its aggression».

All this as Israel announced today that it has secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the US to support its ongoing military efforts.

The package includes $3.5 billion for essential wartime supplies, already received and earmarked for critical military purchases, and $5.2 billion for air defense systems, including the Iron Dome anti-missile system and a
