The Palestinian Authority slams the agenda of the incoming Israeli government published earlier today, which calls to expand settlements in the West Bank, as a dangerous escalation.
“These guidelines constitute a dangerous escalation and will have repercussions for the region,” says Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman of PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
Abu Rudeineh says that Israel must realize that without complying with the UN resolutions “nothing will be achieved and that there will not be any settlement left on the lands of the independent state of Palestine.”
Abu Rudeineh calls on the US administration “to turn its words into deeds since it is committed to the two-state solution, without which there will be no stability in the region.”
