RAMALLAH, June 24, 2018 (WAFA) - Nabil Shaath, advisor to President Mahmoud Abbas for foreign affairs and Vice-President of the Socialist International said US President Donald Trump‘s envoys are working for Israel at the White House.

Shaath said in an interview with the official Voice of Palestine radio on Sunday that he strongly rejected the promotion of economic solutions at the expense of the independence and freedom of the Palestinian people.

He said that US Senior Advisor Jared Kushner’s  interview with Palestine‘s al-Quds Newspaper is the best evidence of the failure of the ‘Deal of the Century’, explaining that Kushner attempted to address the Palestinian people directly because he did not find listening ears in Arab capitals.

In the meantime, Shaath said that a draft proposal would be presented at the annual conference of the Socialist International (SI), which will be held in Geneva on Tuesday.

He explained that the draft proposal calls for the imposition of sanctions on the Israeli occupation, and the intensifying of SI support for the Palestinian leadership at this stage in which the Palestinian issue is facing the most serious liquidation schemes.
