Palestinian Authority Ready to Take Responsibility for Gaza, Abbas Says

Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, said Hamas will not govern Gaza and called on the group to lay down its arms.

Translator: We want a modern and democratic state that abides by international law, the rule of law and multilateralism, and the peaceful transition of power. We declare that we are ready to work with U.S. President Donald Trump, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and France, the United Nations and all partners. Peace cannot be achieved if justice is not achieved, and there can be no justice if Palestine is not freed. Palestine is ours. Jerusalem is the jewel of our heart and our eternal capital. We will not leave our homeland. We will not leave our lands. Our people will remain rooted like the olive trees, firm as the rocks.

Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, said Hamas will not govern Gaza and called on the group to lay down its arms.
