During his address, President Abbas is expected to discuss the ongoing Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. The speech will aim to ensure that the voices of the oppressed Palestinian people are heard and to highlight efforts to stop the violence.
In addition to his parliamentary address, President Abbas will hold meetings with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş at the parliament building. These meetings are expected to further solidify the strong ties between Türkiye and Palestine and discuss ongoing efforts to address the situation in the region. (ILKHA)
