Mahmoud Abbas spoke to UN General Assembly via video after his US visa was revoked, offered a vision for a Gaza run by Palestinian Authority.
Speaking over video after the United States revoked his visa, the Palestinian leader told world leaders on Thursday that his people reject the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and pledged that the militant group would have no role in governing the Gaza Strip after the war ends and must hand over its weapons to his administration. Said Mahmoud Abbas to his people: “The dawn of freedom will emerge.”
Mahmoud Abbas told the UN General Assembly that Palestinians in Gaza “have been facing a war of genocide, destruction, starvation and displacement” by Israel.
