Israel plans to ‘empty’ Gaza Strip of its people, claims Palestinian President Abbas
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, on Thursday (Oct 24), accused Israel of trying to "empty" the Gaza Strip of Palestinians, majorly in the northern part.
“It has been a full year since the greatest catastrophe that the Palestinian people experienced after the Nakba of 1948, which is the Israeli war in which crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing are being committed in the Gaza Strip,” Abbas said in a speech to the BRICS groups members.
He added, "This is part of a plan to empty the territory of its people, especially now in northern Gaza, where the occupation forces are resorting to starving the population there.”
The Israel-Hamas war began on October 7 last year after the Palestinian militantgroup attacked southern Israel and killed around 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, according to Israeli officials.
