The source said that the Abbas spoke last night with the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, whom he criticized for the policy of the White House.
Abbas “stressed the need for the US administration to turn its words into actions,” it was said.
According to Wafa, the President warned that Washington cannot continue with its strategy of condemnation and silence in the face of Tel Aviv’s actions because the situation on the ground is no longer acceptable at all.
The dangerous situation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank due to the continued Israeli escalation against the Palestinian people in East Jerusalem and their holy sites was also addressed during the call.
Abbas denounced the continuous violations of international norms and signed agreements committed by Israel, as well as its attacks against the Al Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest place for Muslims.
Given this situation, Abbas warned that the Palestinian leadership is in the process of applying measures to confront the aggression, although he did not specify what kind of measures.
