RAMALLAH, November 27, 2024 (WAFA) – The Palestinian presidency welcomed on Wednesday the announcement of the ceasefire coming into effect in Lebanon.

The presidency stressed in its statement that "we hope that this step will contribute to stopping the violence and instability that the region is suffering from as a result of the Israeli policies that are leading the region to a comprehensive explosion, stressing the need to accelerate the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2735 regarding the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the entry of humanitarian aid, the complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, preventing the displacement of our people from the Strip, and enabling the State of Palestine to fully assume its responsibilities there."

President Mahmoud Abbas expressed the State of Palestine's full support for the stability and security of brotherly Lebanon, and ensuring the reconstruction of what was destroyed by the war, wishing the Lebanese people continued progress and stability.
