Starting At UN, Abbas Plans ‘Diplomatic Intifada’ Against US Peace Plan

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is planning a “diplomatic intifada” against the United States in response to the peace plan put forth last month by President Donald Trump, Israeli TV reported on Saturday, citing associates close to the Palestinian leader.

Abbas, currently in Jordan, will make his way to New York this week where on Tuesday he is set to speak at the United Nations and present his own version of a peace plan, said to be a Palestinian state on the basis of the pre-1967 lines, Israel’s Channel 13 reported on Saturday.

Abbas is also expected to denounce the US plan, the so-called “deal of the century,” and charge that it violates international law. Abbas has adamantly rejected the plan, calling it “the slap of the century” and vowing the Palestinian people “will send it to the dustbins of history.” -Full Report
