Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the agreement to halt the Israeli war in Gaza on Thursday, affirming that sovereignty over the territory belongs to the State of Palestine.
This came according to a statement reported by the official Palestinian news agency. Early Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" had reached an agreement on the first phase of his plan for a ceasefire and prisoner exchange.
Abbas expressed hope that these efforts would be a precursor to reaching a permanent political solution, as President Trump announced, leading to the end of the Israeli occupation of the land of the State of Palestine and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
We hope that these efforts will be a precursor to reaching a permanent political solution, leading to the end of the Israeli occupation of the land of the State of Palestine.
