Israeli op in Gaza is ‘genocide,’ Abbas says
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas accuses Israel of committing “genocide” in Gaza during its military campaign which has so far killed 43 Palestinians.
“It’s genocide — the killing of entire families is genocide by Israel against our Palestinian people,” he tells a crisis meeting of the Palestinian leadership in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
