RAMALLAH: President of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, received on Sunday the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, Mauro Vieira, at the presidential headquarters in the city of Ramallah.
The President briefed the minister on the latest developments in the political situation in the Palestinian territories, in light of the ongoing Israeli aggression against Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, as well as in the West Bank and the city of Jerusalem, and the efforts made to immediately stop the war of genocide against Palestinians.
President Abbas stressed the importance of accelerating the entry of humanitarian, relief and medical aid into the Gaza Strip, and increasing it, so that shelter centers and hospitals can play their role in providing what is necessary to alleviate the suffering of citizens.
“The urgent matter and priority for us is to prevent the Israeli occupation forces from invading the city of Rafah, to which more than 1.5 million Palestinians have been displaced, which will cause a hu
manitarian catastrophe,” the President said, calling for a greater international effort to prevent Israel from launching such an attack, and to oblige Israel to stop its aggression immediately, and open all crossings leading to the Gaza Strip to bring in relief aid and begin reconstruction.
President Abbas expressed his pride in the bilateral relations between Palestine and Brazil, praising the positions of Brazil and President Lula da Silva in supporting the Palestinian people and their cause in international forums, especially his recent statements about the necessity of stopping the ongoing Israeli aggression against Palestinian people in Gaza.
