RAMALLAH, Friday, May 3, 2019 (WAFA) – Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), Saeb Erekat, said on Friday that the US-proposed "deal of the century" is more about dictations and not a peace agreement that maybe reached through negotiations.
"A deal may mean that a party agrees to sell its property as a result of bankruptcy, that is, it entails a winning party and a loser one, a term used in the real estate industry and television entertainment games," Erekat told a high-profile delegation of 50 dignitaries from various US states representing the academic, political, cultural and economic spectra and the civil society.
"On the other hand," he continued, "a peace treaty means an agreement between two or more parties, resulting in a win-win equation for all parties."
The PLO Secretary-General reiterated the constant position of the Palestinian leadership that any solutions ruling out the international resolutions and the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital will be rejected.
He added that all decisions of the US administration on Jerusalem, the refugees, settlements, borders and annexation of the occupied Palestinian territories and the occupied Golan Heights are null and void, and flagrant violations of international law.
