RAMALLAH, Palestine, March 31 (NNN-WAFA) – Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) Executive Committee, Saeb Erekat, urged Arab states to draw a road-map to deal with the U.S. administration, in the Arab League summit today (Sunday), in Tunisia’s capital, Tunis.
Erekat told the official Palestinian radio station (Voice of Palestine) earlier that, “Arab states must realise that those who take unilateral decisions, consider the security of Israel above all considerations, and recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the occupied Arab Syrian Golan under its sovereignty, cannot be trusted, to deal with the region, borders or peoples.”
The top PLO official said, the Palestinian side will reiterate its positions, rejecting all the U.S. president’s decision.
He also stressed that, the Palestinians are determined to commit to international law and establish their own state, in accordance with the borders of 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Palestinians declared they have boycotted the U.S. administration, since it recognised Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved its embassy to Jerusalem last May.
Palestinians also said, in several statements, that the U.S. “Deal of the Century” falls way short of their expectations and aspirations, for lasting and just peace settlement, and called for an international multilateral peace mechanism, to overlook peace negotiations.– NNN-WAFA
