RAMALLAH, Thursday, May 2, 2019 (WAFA) – Presidential spokesman and Minister of Information, Nabil Abu Rudainah, said today that the leadership will not attend any conference outside the framework of the international resolution and the Arab Peace Initiative.

Speaking at a press conference in Ramallah, the occupied West Bank, he said "There are suspicious projects in the region that have been rejected, and no project or plan will be legitimized unless approved by the people, the leadership, and the president [of Palestine]."

"There is a crisis affecting the entire region, especially if the infamous deal [of the century] is announced... There are also many suspicious projects in the region that affect the security and sovereignty of some neighboring countries," he remarked, adding that the Palestinians "will not accept any solutions that do not lead to the creation of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital."

Meanwhile, Abu Rudainah explained that President Mahmoud Abbas has decided to send warning letters to many parties as well as to the leaders of several countries so that "all are up to their responsibilities."

On Israel‘s withholding of the tax revenue collected on behalf of the Palestinians, he reiterated that the leadership will only accept a full repayment of the withheld money and without any deductions.
