Hamas criticizes Abbas’s call to disarm
The Gaza-based armed group has released a statement on the UNGA Debate speech of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Here are there translated comments;
Resistance is a national and moral responsibility that derives its legitimacy from our people.
The Authority’s assertion that Hamas will have no role in government is an infringement on the Palestinian people’s inherent right to self-determination.
The resistance’s weapons cannot be touched as long as the occupation remains on our land, and we condemn the PA president’s demand to hand them over.
Trump says he will not allow Israel to annex the occupied West Bank
US President Donald Trump has said that he will not allow Israel to annex the occupied West Bank, which will come as a blow to Netanyahu, who has been signalling that his administration would do so.
Speaking at the Oval Office, Trump said: “I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. I will not allow it. Not going to happen.”
After a reporter asked if Trump spoke to Netanyahu, he responded: “Whether I spoke to him or not, I did, but I’m not allowing Israel to annex the West Bank. There has been enough, time to stop now”.
The US president’s comments come hours after he reiterated that a Gaza deal was close.
Medical sources at Gaza hospitals say at least 57 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since morning across the coastal enclave.
Among the dead are 25 people killed in Gaza City.
Muslim countries warned Trump to dangers of Israeli annexation of West Bank:
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud has said that Arab and Muslim leaders who met US President Donald Trump on Wednesday made clear their opposition to Israel annexing the occupied West Bank.
“Some countries made very clear to the president the danger of annexation of any type in the West Bank and the risk that poses not just to the potential of peace in Gaza, but also to any sustainable peace at all,” he said and “I feel confident that President Trump understood the position of the Arab and Muslim countries.”
Israeli officials have repeatedly said they would annex the territory following a wave of European countries joining a global position by recognizing a Palestinian state.
According to several US outlets, Trump committed to not allowing Israel to annex the territory. (Int’l Monitoring Desk)
