Palestinian official blasts US decision to soften stance on settlements
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleWasel Abu Yousef, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Executive Committee, says Washington’s decision to soften its stance on the settlements is “an act of aggression against the Palestinian people.
“In the past, the US always criticized and condemned settlements, but took no action to stop them,” he tells The Times of Israel.
“Now, the Trump administration is working to legitimize the settlements,” Abu Yousef continues. “UN Security Council Resolution 2334 is very clear that settlements are illegal and illegitimate and the State Department’s decision will not change that.”
