Secretary-General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Hussein al-Sheikh, said that the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the leadership ‘welcome the truth agreement,’ appreciating the efforts made by Qatar and Egypt.

“President Abbas and the leadership welcome the humanitarian truce agreement, we appreciate the Qatari-Egyptian effort that has been made,” he said in a post he made on X.

“We renew the call for a comprehensive cessation of the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, the introduction of humanitarian aid, and the implementation of a political solution based on international legitimacy, leading to an end to the occupation and the Palestinian people gaining their freedom, independence, and sovereignty,” he added.

Secretary General of the Executive Committee of the PLO, Hussein AlSheikh, slammed the statements of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich about the displacement of Palestinians as state terrorism, a racist call, and legislation for killing and destruction.

Far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on X that the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians in Gaza is the “right humanitarian solution” for the besieged Strip.

The hatred of failure drives the prime minister of the occupation government to moral, humanitarian and political blindness, and drives him to more killing, destruction and displacement. Yesterday, he announced his strategic goal in this war – which is to completely reoccupy the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Forgetting or “forgetting” that his occupation is going to end and we will remain.

The Palestinian leadership refuses to receive the clearance revenues after Israel’s piracy of hundreds of millions of shekels and setting conditions for non-payment to the Gaza Strip. The unity of the land and the people is a non-negotiable Palestinian decision, and the aspects of spending the Authority’s budget are determined by the Government of Palestine, and we will share a living with our people in the beloved Strip, even if its just one dirham.

There was a call with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, to discuss the major developments taking place in the region as a result of the devastating war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

We affirmed our common position of rejecting harm to civilians from all sides, an immediate ceasefire, opening safe corridors, and not displacing the Palestinian people from their homeland, and that a political solution based on international legitimacy and international law is the only way to end this conflict.

We agreed on joint action at the international level, in order to achieve these combined goals.
