واعلن عباس عن قرارات اتخذتها القيادة الفلسطينية "ستعلن قريبا، وطلب الحماية الدولية اولى هذه القرارات".
وقال عباس امام الصحافيين خلال تسليمه للرسالة ان "القيادة الفلسطينية قررت الطلب رسميا من الأمم المتحدة توفير الحماية الدولية لشعب وأرض فلسطين".
وتواصل القيادة الفلسطينية اجتماعاتها في مقر الرئيس الفلسطيني لمتابعة الهجوم الاسرائيلي على قطاع غزة.

"to deal with the grave conditions in Gaza"
So where exactly have the hundreds of millions of $'s gone through UNWRA in the last 66 years?
The amount of money given to UNWRA is a drop in the bucket to the needs of millions of Palestinians. Only cold-blooded Israeli extremists want to block even this trickle of aid to a dispossessed and brutalized population - many live under a brutal Israeli siege.
"many live under a brutal Israeli siege"
Why don't you read just how many trucks with food, medicines and fuel, enter Gaza each day, even now during the fighting, through the Kerem Shalom Crossing from Israel? About 200
How many cross the Rafah Crossing from Egypt? Nil, Zero, None.
Who supplies them with electricity? They even fired rockets at the pylons carrying their electricity supply and cut it off.
Who supplies them with gas & water?
So it is an Israeli siege? No, it is an Egyptian siege.
Phillipo - Your hypocrisy has no end. You know as well as I do that the Egyptian government has had a long standing agreement with Israel about the control of products into and out of Gaza. So two hundred trucks a day are supposed to fill in the needs of a population of a million!!! This is a siege meant to keep people surviving but economically a basket case. Which brings us to your original comments about UNRWA: They provide essential services that Palestinians cannot do without. About electricity: Gaza problem is that Israel keep destroying is its transmission lines and blocking fuel on regular basis. That is nothing to say about withholding tax receipt that Israel collect on products going to Palestinian territories. So they (an I add phillipo ... he is an Israeli despite his pretenses) dispossess Palestinians, steal their land and property, herd them into camps, besiege them and then they want to deny them aid that hardly meet their basic needs. Typical Zionists!
I think putting the UN in charge of Gaza security may be a good idea. I believe Israel would not bomb Gaza if the UN was repsponsible for security there and the UN would ensure that no rockets are fired at Israel. Abbas seems to have come up with a plan. The difficulty may be in getting countries to volunteer for the assignment -- Hamas can't control who fires rockets, will countires under Un umbrella volunteer to do so?
