WEST
BANK – On Monday, former Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh sounded the
alarm regarding the potential misuse of the maritime corridor between southern
Cyprus and Gaza. He expressed concerns that it could be exploited as an exit
route for the displacement of Palestinians, despite some assurances provided
about its usage, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.

Shtayyeh
emphasized his firm rejection of any foreign presence on Gaza's soil,
irrespective of nationality or intentions. "We have requested
international protection for our people and all Palestinian territories,
including Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza, under the banner and umbrella of
the UN," he stated.
Speaking
against efforts to impose self-governance or introduce private security
companies in Gaza, Shtayyeh cautioned that such actions would amount to
aggression against the will of the Palestinian people. He voiced confidence
that these attempts, like previous conspiracies, would ultimately fail.
"We
will protect our national project and serve as a shield for Palestinian
nationalism, represented by President Mahmoud Abbas," Shtayyeh asserted,
underlining the importance of national unity in facing upcoming challenges
within the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) framework.
Addressing
financial concerns, Shtayyeh disclosed that the Cabinet has requested donor
cash transfers to assist Gaza residents. A session with donors is scheduled to
bolster support for the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its components.
In
a poignant appeal to the global community, Shtayyeh urged immediate action to
alleviate the suffering of Gaza's people and called for solidarity against
Israel's actions. "Today, the Israeli forces stormed Al-Shifa Hospital and
killed patients," he lamented, highlighting the ongoing violence in the
region.
He
implored the world to halt the aggression and stand against the injustices
faced by Palestinians. "This is the final plea to humanity from Rafah—the
last corner awaiting death. Save Rafah and salvage what remains of Gaza,"
Shtayyeh pleaded.
Furthermore,
he urged those with double standards to unify their criteria and called upon
world leaders to prioritize humanity and protect the lives of detainees,
including Marwan Barghouti and his fellow prisoners.
