“Mahmoud Abbas has condemned Washington’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. He said it negates the US’ right to be a mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while stating that Jerusalem remains the “eternal capital” of Palestine.
Mahmoud Abbas has strongly rejected Donald Trump’s declaration, stating that Jerusalem is the “Eternal capital of the state of Palestine.” Washington’s hostile move effectively nullifies Washington’s right to be a peace broker in the Arab-Israeli conflict, Abbas underlined.”

CrossTalking with Mark Crispin Miller, Andrew Langer, and Charles Ortel.”
