RAMALLAH: Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the official spokesman for the presidency, said that the US administration ‘should not remain a hostage of Israeli policy, especially since the region is at a crossroads, and the continuation of the war against the Palestinian people will lead to its regional expansion.’
Abu Rudeineh added said that ‘the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people must be stopped immediately, and the massacres to which Palestinian people are subjected to daily in the Gaza Strip must be stopped, especially if the occupation army launches a ground attack on the city of Rafah, which is crowded with displaced people.’
He called on the international community, especially the US administration, to act urgently to force the Israeli occupation authorities to stop this madness before it is too late, and to prevent them from advancing overland towards the city of Rafah, ‘because this would mean thousands of victims.’
Abu Rudeineh said, ‘Netanyahu’s statements about a safe passage for civilians is
pure nonsense and a deception to the world, because there is no longer a safe place in the Gaza Strip, and civilians cannot return in light of the ongoing bombing of the center and north of the Strip, and the occurrence of a new Nakba and forced displacement outside the Strip is unacceptable and we will not allow it.’
