In defiant Ramallah speech, Abbas tells PLO leaders ‘Israel ended Oslo’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn his fiery speech to the PLO’s Central Council in Ramallah on Sunday, PA President Mahmoud Abbas sounds a defiant tone, warning that the 25-year-old Oslo peace process was at an end, and rejecting outright US President Donald Trump’s efforts to mediate Israeli-Palestinian peace.
“Israel ended Oslo, and among the decisions we must take is on the Oslo issue,” he tells the Central Council delegates.
Referring to Trump’s statement that he sought to make the “deal of the century” between Israelis and Palestinians, Abbas says, “We say to Trump and everyone else, ‘No, no to your plan.’ We reject it.
“We refused the ‘deal of the century.’ This is the slap in the face of the century,” he quips.
