Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas receives in Ramallah a US delegation headed by National Security Council Coordinator for the Middle East Brett McGurk and Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf.

During the meeting, Abbas stresses the need for the US administration to pressure Israel to halt the ongoing war in Gaza, speed up the delivery of humanitarian aid into the Strip, and halt alleged assaults by soldiers and settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank.

He “categorically rejects” purported Israeli proposals to displace Palestinians from Gaza, the West Bank or Jerusalem. Abbas reiterates that there is no military solution for the Gaza Strip, and that the territory is an “integral part of the State of Palestine.”
