Erekat says new Israeli law threatens existence of PA

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat, the secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, says the new Israeli law slashing PA duties over payouts to prisoners’ families threatens the existence of the PA.

“This is a very dangerous decision that amounts to the cancellation of the Palestinian Authority and is piracy and theft,” Erekat tells AFP.

“Israel is stealing the land and money of the Palestinian people and that is a result of the decisions of [US] President [Donald] Trump, who supports Israel.”
