RAMALLAH, May 29, 2017 (WAFA) - Arbitrary Israeli measures, including commemoration of the annexation of Jerusalem, constitute a serious violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which considers the West Bank and East Jerusalem to be occupied territories since 1967 in addition to confirming the illegality of settlements, presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said on Monday.
He added: “Such arbitrary measures would harm efforts to revive the peace process and would lead to further tension.”
Abu Rudeineh said that the recent meetings between President Mahmoud Abbas and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, in Washington and Bethlehem represented an opportunity to reach a just and comprehensive solution. However, he said, Israeli actions will lead to dangerous developments and will harm peace efforts.
“We demand that the US administration not allow Israel to proceed with these dangerous steps," he said.
