Ramallah: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas reaffirmed Wednesday that Palestine is not for sale and that no part of its land, whether in Gaza, the West Bank or Jerusalem, will be abandoned.

In a statement following a meeting of the Fatah Central Committee in Ramallah, Abbas rejected any attempts to displace the Palestinian people and stressed adherence to international law and the Arab Peace Initiative as the basis for any political solution.

The Fatah Central Committee also reiterated its rejection of any displacement attempts and stressed that Palestinians would resist such efforts through their commitment to their national cause under the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO).

The committee praised Jordan and Egypt for rejecting calls for displacement and emphasized the importance of the upcoming emergency Arab summit to address this issue and approve a reconstruction plan for Gaza.

It also highlighted the need for unity behind the PLO to counter Israeli policies and ensure the realization of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
