UN envoy meets Palestinian PM in Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United Nations’ peace envoy, Nickolay Mladenov, meets with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah in the Gaza Strip and says he’s “encouraged” by his government’s move to reassert control in the coastal enclave.
“I was encouraged by the firm commitment of President [Mahmoud] Abbas and the Government to return to Gaza under the full control of the legitimate Palestinian Authority,” he says in a statement. “This is essential for resolving the humanitarian situation as soon as possible, most notably the crippling electricity and health crises, and should facilitate the lifting of the movement and access restrictions on Gaza.”
“Gaza is and must be an integral part of the future Palestinian state,” Mladenov adds.
