Reacting to the recent escalation of tensions along the Gaza Strip border with Israel amid protests against US embassy’s relocation to the holy city, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has refused from any Washington’s mediation in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
“With this step, the US administration has canceled its role in the peace process and has insulted the world, the Palestinian people and the Arab and the Islamic nation and it has created incitement and instability,” Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rdeineh stated.
Later in the day, Mahmoud Abbas announced a three-day mourning in connection with the death of dozens of Palestinians on Monday and a general strike on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Nakba (national catastrophe).
