Gaza Peace
Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas has expressed his willingness to collaborate with incoming US President Donald Trump to achieve a “just and comprehensive peace” for Gaza, according to a statement from his office.
This commitment came during a phone call between the two leaders, in which Abbas congratulated Trump on his electoral victory.
Abbas emphasized the Palestinian Authority’s readiness to work with the incoming president to reach a peace agreement based on international legitimacy.
In his conversation with Abbas, President-elect Trump assured the Palestinian leader of his intent to work towards ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Trump expressed his determination to halt Israel’s war on Gaza, and pledged to engage with Abbas and other relevant parties, both regional and global, to facilitate peace in the region.
Abbas also reaffirmed Palestine’s aspirations for “freedom, self-determination, and statehood” in line with international law, reiterating the Palestinian people’s hope for justice.
He conveyed confidence that under Trump’s leadership, the United States would support Palestinian aspirations and work to resolve the ongoing crisis.
Trump’s victory came amid Israel’s ongoing military offensive on Gaza, a situation that has prompted widespread international condemnation.
Despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire, Israel’s airstrikes and ground operations have led to catastrophic losses in Gaza.
As of the latest reports, more than 43,500 Palestinians have been killed, with women and children making up 70 percent of the casualties.
In addition, over 102,000 others have been injured, though some analysts suggest the true toll may be far higher, possibly exceeding 200,000.
Many Palestinians have been trapped under the rubble of bombed homes, with more than 10,000 believed to have been buried alive.
Efforts to mediate a ceasefire, led by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar, have largely failed, mainly due to Israel’s refusal to halt the violence.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected proposals to stop the military operations.
Furthermore, Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice, which has added legal pressure to the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
As Trump prepares to take office on January 20, many in the international community are watching closely to see whether his administration will be able to make significant strides toward resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and ending the devastation in Gaza.
