Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that Israel insists on continuing its attacks on Gaza to “impose displacement,” especially on the city of Rafah, TRT World reports.

“The Israeli government and its army are continuing their attacks on various cities in Gaza, especially Rafah, with the aim of forcibly displacing citizens. We will not accept this, and neither will our brothers, nor the world,” he said in a meeting of the Palestinian government held in Ramallah, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.

He emphasised that the situation in Rafah has become “extremely dangerous and difficult,” requiring the Palestinian government to act swiftly.

He added that they had gathered to discuss the issue in order to prevent further Israeli attacks and to stop Israel from expelling Palestinians from their land and country.
