Abbas spokesman denounces US envoy’s comments backing annexation

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s spokesman has denounced comments made earlier today by US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman in support of West Bank annexation, calling the remarks “unacceptable.”

“The Palestinian people will thwart all plots and will not allow such an annexation move to pass without taking decisive steps against it as confirmed by [Abbas],” who has warned that they would lead to the PA cancelling all of its agreements with Israel, Nabil Abu Rudeinah says in a statement.
