In an interview with FRANCE 24 on Day 20 of the Israel-Hamas conflict, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called on the Biden administration "to pressure Israel to stop this war". Nabil Abu Rudeineh also said that the current conflict was "an opportunity for us, for the Israelis, for the Europeans and the Americans" to reach a "two-state" solution in the Middle East.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh fears the war in Gaza will spread not only to the West Bank but also to the wider region. "The danger is there, not just here in Palestine but also in the region," he told FRANCE 24. This is why, he added, Abbas is calling for an immediate ceasefire to ensure humanitarian aid can be brought into Gaza.
