The spokesperson of the Palestine Authority President Mahmoud Abbas held Israel and the United States responsible for the escalation in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh said Israel "crossed all red lines" by continuing to kill people in Palestinian cities and bombing Gaza, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported on Saturday.
He held the "Israeli occupation government responsible for these serious crimes committed", according to Wafa, warning that they will have "great repercussions on the stability of the entire region".
He also condemned the US administration for its "silence towards the Israeli crimes and failure to immediately intervene to stop them".
