Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Addresses UN Amid Ongoing Conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon

During his speech at the UN General Assembly, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned Israel's military actions in Gaza, labeling them a 'genocide' and calling for an immediate ceasefire. He urged world leaders to pressure the United States to halt its arms shipments to Israel and denounced the ongoing 'genocidal war' against Palestinians. Abbas presented a 12-point plan for post-war Gaza and emphasized that Palestinians would not leave their land. Various world leaders and UN officials echoed calls for an end to hostilities in both Gaza and Lebanon, highlighting a growing international concern over the humanitarian situation in the region. Abbas's speech also addressed the sensitivity surrounding the Temple Mount, asserting it as 'exclusive property of Muslims.' Meanwhile, as Israeli forces continued their military operations, Abbas criticized what he described as 'Israeli lies' while inviting global leaders to witness the dire conditions in Gaza.
