Top Palestinian official says Pence speech ‘a gift to extremists’
Top PLO official Saeb Erekat says the speech by Pence at the Knesset will serve as a gift to extremists in the region.
“The messianic discourse of Pence is a gift to extremists and has proven that the US administration is part of the problem rather than the solution,” Erekat says.
“His message to the rest of the world is clear: violate international law and resolutions and the US will reward you,” Erekat adds.
