Palestinian President Nabil Abu Rudeina said on Sunday that all forms of settlements in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967 are illegal under international legitimacy.
Abu Rudeina was commenting on US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo´s remarks that "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu´s remarks about the annexation of settlements in the West Bank to Israel do not harm the century´s deal" to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Abu Rudeineh said in a statement that Pompey´s remarks were "unacceptable and irresponsible and represent a departure from international law and a provocation to the Palestinian people, who will remain steadfast in their legitimate rights, which of Jerusalem and its holy sites and its right to freedom and independence and the establishment of an independent state on all its national soil. "
Abu Rudeina stressed that the clear and clear Palestinian position, expressed by President Mahmoud Abbas yesterday, is to reject the deal of the century and address it because of the positions of the US administration from Jerusalem and settlements and refugees and other Palestinian rights.
He said that the continuation of the American administration to make such statements will only lead to more tension and congestion in the region and the world, and that anyone who believes that the deal will be a century will be lost, because the heroic Palestinian people will not allow any conspiracy to infringe on the rights, especially Jerusalem and its holy sites.
He added that the Palestinian and international position confirm the illegitimacy of the settlements, and that these statements will harm any international efforts will be made to achieve peace.
