Sources in the Palestinian Authority Chairman Abbas said he was expected to hold several policy meetings before returning to Ramallah from the Security Council meeting.



A senior Palestinian official said that Abbas wants to meet with Jordan's King Abdullah and Egyptian President Azzi, and discuss with them the consequences of the failure of the Palestinians to condemn the Trump administration's century-long plan for the Trump administration. According to the Palestinian source, "there is a deep sense of disappointment among the members of the delegation that went with Abu Mazen to the UN. The feeling is that we return with the tail between our legs. We were caught unprepared, and we underestimated US pressure on Security Council membership. "

He said almost all the members of the Security Council told members of the Palestinian delegation that they sympathized with the Palestinians' claims, but the Americans exerted all their weight and influence to overthrow Tunisia and Indonesia's resolution on behalf of the Palestinians. He added: "Once the draft was changed to the softened wording that did not include explicit condemnation of the Centennial Plan - there was no point in casting the motion for a resolution even if we had a majority. We are still shocked by the cold shoulder we received from Arab states, particularly the Gulf, Egypt and Saudi governments."



It should be emphasized that, despite Ramallah's unified front against the century plan and the backing and support for Abu Mazen's boycott of President Trump and the Washington administration, among the Palestinian leadership, some who say following the UN farce say: "The time has come to free himself from his conception in which Abu Mazen prisoners and prisoners of Abu Dhabi And Arab states will take care of Palestinian interests.

"Rais and his people are aware of lukewarm responses from the Arab states against the plan, and the fact that the international community also has no overwhelming opposition to the century plan and withdrawal of the draft resolution submitted to the Security Council proves the claim that it is time to replace a floppy disk and reconsider the Trump administration's boycott and peace plan."
