Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said the PA would “reconsider its relations with the United States” and held the United States “responsible for the escalation of tensions in the Middle East,” Wafa reported.
Criticism of the American administration, to which Abbas was generous in his interview with the agency, is due to the fact that the day before the United States blocked a resolution in the UN Security Council on the admission of Palestine as a full member of the organization. 12 out of 15 countries voted in favor, with the UK and Switzerland abstaining.
Currently, the PA has observer status.
