image sourced from original article at Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas' office has strongly condemned recent comments by Minister of Settlements Orit Strock, who claimed that the Gaza Strip is part of the Land of Israel under international law and the United Nations Partition Plan. Strock made these remarks during a radio interview, expressing regret over not resigning from the government if her goals were not met.
In response, Abbas' office rejected Strock's assertions as baseless and referenced the 1947 Partition Plan, which they say supports the establishment of a Palestinian state on 45 percent of historic Palestine, including the Gaza Strip. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions over territorial claims and interpretations of international agreements.
