Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned yesterday that Gaza is enduring a second Nakba and facing an unprecedented war of annihilation, Anadolu reported.

Abbas emphasised that the forced displacement scheme orchestrated by Israel’s far-right government “will not succeed.”

“The Palestinian people are experiencing harsh and severe conditions. There is a second Nakba in Gaza. Our people are being subjected to a mass extermination unparalleled in history, with hundreds of thousands of martyrs and wounded, widespread destruction, displacement, hunger, diseases, and epidemics,” he said.

“The occupying state has rendered Gaza uninhabitable, and today’s events in northern Gaza are clear evidence of this.”

Abbas further commented, “The threat of forced displacement continues to loom over the people of Gaza, and we affirm with utmost clarity and determination that this scheme will not pass. We will not allow it to pass, relying on the resilience of our people and the support of our brothers and friends all over the world.”
