Following the publication of the details of the century deal and the call of the Palestinians for an emergency conference of the Arab League, on Saturday, the organization's headquarters in Cairo held an emergency meeting of Arab foreign ministers in order to formulate a uniform front against the century deal.

The statement from the Arab League states that the Palestinian Authority and the Arab states report on the political program published last week at a Washington ceremony: "The plan does not meet the minimum aspirations and rights of the Palestinian people. The right of the State of Palestine is sovereignty over all occupied land from 1967, including East Jerusalem. The Arab Peace Initiative is the minimum acceptable. We warn Israel not to implement the program clauses. "

However, despite the summary statement of the Cairo debate, some Arab foreign ministers urged them not to reject the plan outright and that "the plan includes positive clauses that may serve as a basis for direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians."

Palestinian Chairman Ibn Mazen addressed his speech at a convention in the century deal that proposes to transfer the triangular settlements to the Palestinian entity that will be established.

"We do not want the triangle," Abu Mazen said, "for good or for bad - take it with its residents. Ahmed Tibi and do not know what, all this group of MKs, what to call the other (probably meant Ayman Odeh, DS) ".

In his speech, Abu Mazen also confirmed the reports that he refused to receive telephone calls, letters or a copy of the Centenary Plan.

"Trump wanted to talk to me personally and present my plan," Abu Mazen said. "He's not doing me any good. I didn't land from the moon so he would send me a copy to read it. Trump and his administration want me to acknowledge that Israel is a Jewish state, but it is not a Jewish state and nothing. Israel numbers one million and 900,000 Arabs, and about two million Christian Russians who immigrated to Israel after the collapse of the Soviet Union and anyone who wanted to immigrate to Israel. Even among Ethiopian immigrants who immigrated to Israel, there is a low percentage of Jews. So what recognition of a Jewish state are they talking about? "

In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on Twitter: "Apparently Abu Mazen has not heard about the tribes of Israel - Ethiopian immigrants and the Commonwealth of nations.

It seems that Abbas has not yet heard of the Israeli tribes - Ethiopian immigrants and the Commonwealth countries.

Abu Mazen warned again in his speech to the Arab foreign ministers that he would stop cooperation and security coordination with the Israeli security system, stressing that he would continue a boycott of the Trump administration. According to Abu Mazen, Israel is the one who violated the agreements with the Palestinian Authority and is therefore responsible for the consequences in the event of a security twin suspension.

"Israel has canceled the agreements signed between us and violated the legitimate basis of the international community for the agreements, and therefore we announce that there will be no connection between us and Israel and the US, including all the security agreements," the PA chairman said.

In his speech in Cairo, Abu Mazen emphasized that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is one who faces difficulties and obstacles to the peace process, accusing him of failing to promote the peace process.

"There was no progress in the political process during his tenure," Abu Mazen argued. "Netanyahu and Ehud Barak before him opposed Oslo. With Olmert, much progress has been made and we agreed on 70 percent of the final status issues until he went to prison. "

According to Abu Mazen, after meetings with the US president over two years ago in New York and also earlier on the president's visit to Bethlehem, Trump and his people gave him the feeling that the Washington administration agreed to accept the two-state vision based on the 1967 borders.

"I felt that within five minutes or an hour, the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be resolved on its core issues," Abu Mazen added. "But after two months, with complete surprise and no prior warning, the Americans announced the closure of the PLO's offices in Washington, that United Jerusalem was the capital of Israel and the transfer of the American embassy to Jerusalem. We severed ties with the administration and the White House, with the exception of the CIA and Congress. So there is no need to elaborate on why we oppose the plan.

"Leave us a country full of guys like Swiss cheese, and that's what they call the future Palestinian state. We answer that we will not in any way agree with this outline: If Israel and the United States continue to violate the agreements signed between us, we will sever ties completely, including security relations. With the US and Israel, and the Israelis will have to bear responsibility for the consequences of their occupying power. "

Abu Mazen also said that he calls on Israel to enter into direct negotiations with the Palestinians without US involvement: "We are ready for direct negotiations, based on UN resolutions and the Arab initiative. But not on the basis of the Trump plan, which we completely reject."
