Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas cut short his visit to Saudi Arabia amid escalating violence in the West Bank, following a large-scale Israeli military operation that resulted in at least 10 Palestinian deaths. Abbas's spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, condemned the Israeli actions as part of an 'all-out war' on Palestinians, warning that 'everyone will pay the price' for the escalation. The Israeli military claimed the operation was a 'counter-terrorism' measure, asserting they killed nine Palestinian militants during coordinated raids across several cities. Reports indicate that the ongoing conflict has led to over 40,000 fatalities in Gaza and triggered a humanitarian crisis affecting millions. Abbas's return to the West Bank aims to address these developments and calls for international pressure on Israel to halt its operations. The violence has intensified significantly since the start of the Gaza war initiated by Hamas's October attacks on Israel.
