RAMALLAH, August 24, 2025 (WAFA) – Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas, warned on Sunday that Israel’s refusal to halt its military aggression on Gaza is part of a broader strategy aimed at continuing the genocide and the war of starvation to forcibly displace the Palestinian people.

Abu Rudeineh said Israel is deliberately ignoring international calls for a ceasefire, while pressing ahead with policies that violate international law and UN resolutions, from pursuing displacement policies in Gaza to accelerating settlement expansion and settler violence across the West Bank.

He cited recent developments in the village of Al-Mughayyir, where Israeli forces destroyed property and allowed settler violence to escalate unchecked, as part of a broader campaign seen in Jenin, Tulkarm, and other Palestinian areas.

The presidential spokesperson urged the U.S. administration to take responsibility for reining in Israel’s destructive policies, warning that continued American silence could fuel chaos throughout the entire region. “This silence is unjustified, irresponsible,” he said.

Abu Rudeineh called on the international community to take serious and immediate action in response to Israel’s disregard for international legitimacy and law, stressing that widespread condemnations — including those from the United Nations and global leaders — must now be translated into concrete pressure.

“It is time to act to stop this war before it’s too late,” he concluded, urging a decisive global stance to end Israel’s campaign of starvation and collective punishment.
