| Subject: Palestinian President accuses Israhell of 'war of genocide' in Gaza at UN General Assembly Sat Sep 27, 2014 8:14 pm | |
| Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been accused of “diplomatic terrorism” after he claimed Israel carried out a "war of genocide" in Gaza during his speech at the UN General Assembly.
Mr Abbas called for what he described as Israeli "war crimes" in Gaza to be punished, but stopped short of saying he would pursue charges against Israel. He has previously threatened to take Israel to the International Criminal Court.
"This last war against Gaza was a series of absolute war crimes carried out before the eyes and ears of the entire world, moment by moment," Mr Abbas said. The devastation unleashed, he asserted, "is unmatched in modern times."
The conflict between Gaza and Israel in July and August devastated some districts and killed more than 2,100 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to the Gaza health ministry.
