Abbas: Israeli response to 700 rocket attacks from Gaza is "Israeli aggression"
"When he [PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas] laid the cornerstone of the Anti-Corruption Authority building and the Institute for the Management and Investment of Orphans’ Funds building yesterday [May 5, 2019] in Ramallah, the president added: ‘What is happening in Gaza is saddening and disgusting (refers to Gaza rocket attacks on Israel and Israeli response; see note below –Ed.). We have demanded that the world stop the Israeli aggression against our people, and I hope that those who control Gaza will understand that the matter of calm at this place or another is worthless and useless.’"
