The president of the Palestinian Authority tells Turkish legislators he will stand by the Palestinian people even at the cost of his life.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has promised to go to the besieged Gaza Strip, saying he will stand by the Palestinian people even if it costs him his life.
Speaking to Turkey’s Grand National Assembly on Thursday as the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli war on Gaza surpassed 40,000, Abbas decried the “silence of the international community” in the face of atrocities committed by Israel.
“I have decided to head to the Gaza Strip along with all the brothers from the Palestinian leadership,” Abbas said.
“I will work with all my power so that all of us are standing with our people to stop this barbaric aggression even if that would cost us our life. Our life is not more valuable than that of the smallest child in Gaza.”
