Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, on Tuesday at the United Nations Headquarters in New York rejected the Middle East peace plan of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Addressing members of the UN Security Council, Abbas dismissed the proposal as a gift to Israel, saying it was unacceptable to the Palestinian people.
He also urged the Security Council to hold an international conference to implement a settlement between both sides. He said if the Palestinian leader was ready for peace, he would have used the Trump’s plan as an opportunity to engage Israel in direct negotiations rather being at the UN to argue. “President Abbas refused to be pragmatic. He refuses to negotiate. He is not interested in finding a realistic solution to the conflict,” he said.
He reiterated his full personal commitment and that of the organisation to supporting the parties in their effort to achieve a two-state solution.
