RAMALLAH, Thursday, April 4, 2019 (WAFA) – Presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh slammed today Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks on Gaza as revealing the magnitude of the conspiracy of the so-called deal of the century.

He said in a statement that Netanyahu’s remarks in which he said that one option for Gaza is to turn it over to another country and that he talked to many Arab leaders but none agreed to this “indicates the magnitude of the conspiracy of the deal of the century, which, if implemented, will be as much a conspiracy against the Arab countries as it is against Palestine.”

He said, “President Mahmoud Abbas has constantly warned against this, hence his refusal to relinquish Jerusalem, which is the cornerstone that will safeguard the Palestinian and Arab national interests.”

Abu Rudeineh went on to call on Hamas movement “to fully fathom what is being planned for it to be part of the so-called deal of the century, which would result in the Judaization of Jerusalem, the liquidation of the Palestinian identity and relinquishing freedom and independence.”

He reaffirmed President Abbas and the Palestinian leadership’s position that there will not be a state in Gaza nor a state without Gaza, and no state without Jerusalem.

He said the Palestine Liberation Organization will continue to protect the national constants until the flag of Palestine is raised in Jerusalem and its holy places, and achieving freedom and independence based on United Nations resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
