RAMALLAH, Jun 1 (NNN-WAFA) – Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, said, the Palestinian leadership would take measures, to confront the Israeli escalation against the Palestinians.
Abbas made the remarks, during a meeting with visiting Jordanian Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, in the West Bank city of Ramallah, according to the official Palestinian news agency.
In light of the international community’s “inability to compel Israel to abide by international law and international resolutions,” the Palestinian leadership is in the process of taking action to confront this Israeli escalation, said the report.
The president didn’t give details of the measures or the date for implementing them.
“Israel’s criminal actions and racial discrimination are carried out amid U.S. silence on these provocations and practices, that flagrantly violate international law,” said Abbas.
He accused the Israeli regime of not abiding by the peace agreements signed with the Palestinians, international law, and UN resolutions, adding that, the Israeli authorities carry on with their unilateral actions, mainly in East Jerusalem.
Abbas referred to the daily visits of “extremist Israeli Jews” to the flashpoint holy site of Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem.
On Sunday, around 40,000 members and activists of the Israeli far-right-wing groups, joined the annual flag march that passed Damascus Gate and the Islamic quarter in the city, sparking tensions in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
For his part, Safadi expressed to Abbas that Jordan stands by the side of the Palestinian people and their just Palestinian cause.
He pointed out that the Palestinian and Jordanian sides will continue contact and consultations, with the international community and concerned countries.– NNN-WAFA
