Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called for the international community to “compel” Israel to end its “aggression” in Gaza, after a wave of Israeli strikes overnight killed more than 400 people. Mr Abbas’s spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh condemned the strikes in a statement and called on “the international community to compel the occupation to stop its aggression against our people everywhere in the Gaza Strip”. The Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa issued a similar call during a Palestinian Authority cabinet meeting.
