There is great rage and anger in Ramallah over the May 14 relocation of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The Palestinian leadership feels that this move infringes on their right to East Jerusalem. There are also sentiments of frustration, as Ramallah estimates that the Arab and Muslim world did little to block it. On the other hand, the violence on the Gaza border infuriates West Bank Palestinians.
A senior PLO official close to President Mahmoud Abbas told Al-Monitor that the Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership has decided on several routes of action in response to the embassy move.
