Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas calls for a “firm response” from the United States and the international community to Israel’s plan to tighten its control of the West Bank.
During a visit to Oslo, Abbas says he has discussed the issue with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, as well as those of Israeli settler violence and Israel’s alleged freezing of “$4 billion” intended for the Palestinian people.
“These serious violations require a firm response from the US administration and the international community because they hinder [US] President [Donald] Trump’s efforts and constitute a violation of international law,” Abbas tells reporters.
