The Palestinian leadership has decided to halt all communications and meetings with the Israeli side, as well as to continue the suspension of security coordination.
This came in a statement issued by the Palestinian leadership, headed by President Mahmoud Abbas, during an emergency meeting held at the presidential headquarters in Ramallah today, Monday, to discuss the ongoing Israeli aggression on the city of Jenin and its camp.
According to the statement delivered by the presidential spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the leadership has decided to call for an emergency meeting of the general secretaries to agree on a comprehensive national vision and unite ranks to confront and counter the Israeli aggression.
The leadership emphasized the right of our people to defend themselves and stated that the mission of the authority and its various institutions is to protect the Palestinian people, mobilizing all its resources for this purpose. It called on everyone to assume their responsibilities in this regard, while emphasizing commitment to international legitimacy and international law.

Furthermore, the leadership has decided to immediately approach the United Nations Security Council to implement Resolution 2334 and the international protection resolution for the Palestinian people, to halt unilateral measures, impose sanctions on the occupying state, and call on the International Criminal Court to expedite the consideration of the cases referred to it.
