Palestinian news agency WAFA reported on Saturday that Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian Authority, urged the UN Security Council (UNSC) to hold an emergency session following the massacre that unfolded at the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

"In response to the gruesome massacre perpetrated by Israeli occupation forces this morning in the Nuseirat refugee camp, President Mahmoud Abbas has instructed Palestine's envoy to the United Nations to request an emergency session of the UN Security Council to discuss the repercussions of the bloodshed," the news agency said.

The agency reported that Abbas is actively involved in diplomatic engagements and working closely with Arab and international stakeholders to arrange an extraordinary session of the UN Security Council (UNSC).

The aim is to address Israeli military actions against Palestinians and to compel "Israel" to adhere to international resolutions, particularly those advocating for a ceasefire.

It is worth recalling that Abbas has previously issued accusatory remarks, blaming the Resistance operation on October 7 providing "Israel" with an excuse to launch a genocide in Gaza.

The current death toll has now reached 36,801 and the number of injured 83,680, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced Saturday.

It is also reported that the Israeli army committed a total of five massacres across different neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip, killing 70 Palestinians and injuring 150 in the past 24 hours.

Moments ago, the Palestinian resistance confirmed that some Israeli captives were killed as the occupation carried out its massacre in the Nusseirat refugee camp.
