Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas addressed the UN General Assembly via video conference from New York, after the United States denied him a visa. He accused Israel of waging a "genocidal war against Palestinians" in Gaza and of expanding settlements in Judea and Samaria, which he claimed aim to "expel Palestinians from their land."
Abbas alleged that Israel engages in "land theft, house demolitions, illegal establishment of checkpoints, and constant raids" against Palestinians. He described these actions as practices based on "racial discrimination, ethnic cleansing, and state terrorism," and also spoke of the "isolation and Judaization of Jerusalem."
"The danger is no longer limited to undermining the two-state solution and preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state. It now threatens the very life and existence of the Palestinian people in their homeland," Abbas stated. He urged UN member states to "prevent a new Nakba and massacres similar to those committed in 1948."
Notably, even when discussing the Gaza Strip, Abbas did not mention the terrorist organization Hamas.
