The Palestine government has initiated regional and international communications to ensure the success of President Mahmoud Abbas’ anticipated visit to the Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.

The Palestinian leadership has already begun diplomatic moves and communications around the world in preparation for Abbas and his delegation’s visit to Gaza, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

To prepare for the visit, the Palestinian leadership has contacted the UN, UN Security Council members, Arab and Islamic nations, the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the European Union, and the African Union, among other key global powers, it said.

These diplomatic efforts are aimed at ensuring the success of this initiative while securing support and participation. Israel has also been informed of the plan, it added.
