During their meeting, the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, told the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, that they need an “immediate stop to the fighting” and for help to be given to the people in Gaza, as reported by his spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh to Reuters news agency.
The person told Blinken that they cannot find words to explain the terrible killings and damage that the Palestinian people in Gaza have endured because of Israel’s war machine. They believe that Israel did not follow the rules of international law.
This means that Arab countries have made similar requests.
On Saturday, Blinken said no to stopping the fighting for now because it would give Hamas a chance to gather their strength. Instead, he suggested taking a break to help people in need.
