New York, MINA – On Monday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas urged Israel to come to the negotiating table to end the “bloodshed” in the Gaza Strip.
“I call on Israel to immediately sit at the negotiating table to end this bloodshed and achieve a just and comprehensive peace,” Abbas said during a conference on the Two-State Solution at the UN.
The Palestinian leader also expressed his readiness to cooperate with the United States, Saudi Arabia, France, the UN, and all partners “to implement the peace plan adopted during the conference within a specific timeframe.”
Abbas’s plea follows a wave of recognition from countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and France toward the State of Palestine before and during the UN General Assembly (UNGA) events in New York, US.
