RAMALLAH, Palestine, Jan 28 (NNN-WAFA) – As the U.S. Mideast peace plan, known as the “Deal of the Century,” is to be declared, Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, rejects any U.S. role in the peace process.
Abbas told British Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, during a telephone conversation, that, the U.S. administration “is fully biased towards Israel.”
The report said, Abbas told Raab that the Palestinians are sticking to the two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.
“Without this, we will never accept any plan or deal from anyone in the world,” Abbas said. “We are ready to make peace according to international legitimacy resolutions.”
According to the report, Raab told Abbas, his country’s positions concerning the two-state solution, the settlement and the international law are “clear.”
Meanwhile, Palestinian President’s spokesperson, Nabil Rudeinah, called on Arab and Islamic ambassadors, who were invited to attend the ceremony of declaring the U.S. peace plan in Washington, to boycott it.
“The American deal is considered a conspiracy aiming at eliminating the rights of the Palestinian people and thwarting the establishment of a Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital,” said Abu Rudeinah.
Following his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in Washington, President Trump announced that, he is scheduled to declare his peace plan on Tuesday (today), according to media reports.
After U.S.-sponsored peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians stopped in 2014, the Palestinians have been calling for an international mechanism, to sponsor the peace talks, instead of the United States.– NNN-WAFA
