Abbas: We will reconsider bilateral relations with the United States

Palestine – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas confirmed that the Palestinian leadership will reconsider bilateral relations with the United States, in a way that ensures the protection of the interests of the Palestinian people.

Abbas said in an interview with Wafa Agency: “The American veto is disappointing and irresponsible and constitutes a blatant aggression once morest the rights of our people and a challenge to the will of the international community.”

He added: “We hold the American administration fully responsible for the deterioration of the situation in the region. The Middle East will not stabilize without a just solution to the Palestinian issue. The ongoing genocide once morest our people and the rabid campaign once morest UNRWA will push the region to the brink of the abyss.”

He continued: “The United States has violated all international laws and broken all promises regarding the two-state solution and achieving peace in the region

We are on the cusp of a new and difficult phase, and we have multiple options before us to preserve our rights and preserve our identity. We will develop a new strategy to protect the independent Palestinian national decision and proceed according to a Palestinian agenda and not according to an American vision or regional agendas. We will not remain hostages to these policies that have proven to fail and have been exposed to the entire world.

Abbas concluded: “We will reconsider bilateral relations with the United States in a way that ensures the protection of the interests of our people, our cause, and our rights. The current American administration has not only backed down from its promises and commitments, but has also allowed Israel to weaken the Palestinian National Authority. The sacrifices and steadfastness of our people will fail the occupation policies supported by America.”

It is noteworthy that the UN Security Council voted on Thursday evening on the State of Palestine’s application for membership in the United Nations, where 12 countries voted in favor of the resolution, two countries abstained from voting, while the United States used its “veto.”
