From At UN, Abbas slams Netanyahu’s Jordan Valley annexation vow
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas addresses the United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York.
Abbas slams Prime Minister Netanyahu for “arrogantly” promising that he would apply Israeli sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and the “colonial settlements” if he won last week’s elections.
“We reject entirely and completely this plan,” he says, threatening to rip up diplomatic agreements if Israel goes through with the move.
Abbas calls on the international community to bring an end to “Israeli aggression and arrogance” and enforce relevant UN resolutions.
