RAMALLAH, WEST BANK, May 13  — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas stressed on Wednesday that “Jerusalem is a red line\u201d and there would be \u201cno peace, no security and no stability\u201d without the liberation of the entire city from Israeli occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPalestinians are looking for “a future without aggression and without [Israeli] settlements,” Anadolu Agency quoted Abbas said in a televised address before a meeting of the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We continue to act and work to stop the barbaric aggression on our people in Jerusalem, Gaza, and the West Bank,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the Palestinian leadership is in contact with the US administration on ending Israeli attacks on Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abbas also had a message for Israel: “We will not leave our country. End your occupation of our country today, not tomorrow.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel continues to target Gaza with heavy bombardment, bringing the death toll there to 65 with 365 wounded, in addition to heavy damage to residential areas across Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anadolu Agency also reported that death toll from Israeli airstrikes in Gaza climbed to 67 Thursday, including 17 children and six women, with 388 injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citing a statement by the Palestinian Health Ministry, two Palestinians were killed in Israel’s recent attacks on the region, including a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heavy damage has also been recorded across Gaza’s residential areas, including the leveling of multistory buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, six Israelis have been killed in the recent violence \u2013 five of them in rocket attacks in addition to a soldier killed when an anti-tank guided missile struck his jeep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and annexed the city in its entirety in 1980 in a move that has never been recognized by the international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
