Saeb Erekat, the secretary-general of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, told reporters today that his government has suspended its contacts with the US Central Intelligence Agency over the Trump administration’s support for Israel’s plan to annex parts of the West Bank.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said in Ramallah on Tuesday that Washington’s support for Israel’s annexation plan frees his government from its obligations under all treaties and agreements with the United States and Israel, including those involving the Oslo peace process.
