The president of the Palestinian authority, Mahmoud Abbas, said he was in favor of Hamas “deposits his weapons” and “no longer directs Gaza” as part of a future Palestinian state, in a series of written commitments before a UN Conference, the ElySée announced on Tuesday.
In a letter sent to the French president Emmanuel Macron and the Saudi prince Mohammed Ben Salman on Monday, who co -resist this conference on the solution of two states from June 17 to June 21 in New York, Mahmoud Abbas also “ready to invite Arab and international forces to deploy as part of a stabilization/protection mission with a mandate of the Security Council of the Security Council of the Security Council of the Security Council.”
A future Palestinian state “has no intention of being a militarized state and is ready to work in security arrangements for the benefit of all parties”, as soon as it benefits from international protection, “he added.
“What Hamas did on October 7” 2023 “, by killing and taking civilians as hostages, is unacceptable and condemnable,” wrote the president of the Palestinian authority, asking that the Palestinian Islamist movement “immediately release all hostages and selected people.”
“Go to the realization of an independent and sovereign state”
Elysée greets in a press release “concrete and unpublished commitments, testifying a real desire to move towards the implementation of the solution of two states.”
France wants the UN International Conference for the UN for a key moment to relaunch this solution, which the Israel government does not want. Emmanuel Macron, who will be in New York on June 18, says he is “determined” to recognize a Palestinian state, potentially on this occasion, but also issued several conditions, including the “demilitarization” of Hamas and his “non -participation” to the governance of this state.
In his letter, Mahmoud Abbas also commits himself again to continue reforming the Palestinian authority, and confirms wanting to organize “presidential and legislative elections within a year”, under international “supervision”.
“We are ready to take the role to promote a credible and irreversible path towards the end of the occupation, and go to the realization of an independent and sovereign state of Palestine and the implementation of the solution of two states, as part of a clear calendar and with strong international guarantees,” he insists.
