GAZA, May 9, 2025 (WAFA) – The top priority for the Palestinian leadership is to halt Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Deputy Chairman of the PLO Executive Committee Hussein al-Sheikh said on Friday.

Al-Sheikh, who also serves as Vice President, said in a post on the X platform that the top priority of President Mahmoud Abbas’ current efforts is to bring Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to an end.

He added that it was also a priority to ensure the entry of urgent relief to all parts of the Strip and releasing prisoners and hostages before moving to a new phase conducive to Israeli occupation forces’ withdrawal from the Strip and engaging in a comprehensive political process based on international law, UN resolutions and the implementation of the two-state solution.
