PA vows to sue US ambassador over support to Israeli settlements
The Palestinian Authority has threatened to sue former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman after he recognized the City of David settlement project in Jerusalem.
RAMALLAH, West Bank — A day after US President Joe Biden was sworn in on Jan. 20, the Palestinian Authority (PA) vowed to legally pursue former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman after his recognition and approval of a settlement project called the City of David in the center of Jerusalem.
No sooner had Friedman — whom Palestinians call “the settler” — wrapped up his tasks than he gave a huge present to Israel by recognizing the City of David on Jan. 18 and praising it as “a testament to America’s Judeo-Christian heritage and founding principles.”
