The Chairman of the Palestinian Authority met today (Thursday) in his office in Ramallah with the National Security Advisor of the USA, Jake Sullivan.

Abu Mazen warned his interlocutor against "the danger of the Israeli government's unilateral measures, which destroy what remains of the opportunity for peace and stability", and demanded the immediate intervention of the administration "before it is too late".

Abu Mazen said that Israel's behavior is destroying the two-state solution and the signed agreements, and that the Palestinian leadership will not accept "Israeli crimes, the expansion of settlements, the daily killings, the invasion of Palestinian cities, the damage to Al-Aqsa and the robbery of Palestinian tax money."

Another issue that came up in the conversation between the two is the American government's promises to the Palestinians.

In this context, the chairman of the authority emphasized the importance of fulfilling the commitments announced by the US, such as maintaining the two-state solution and the legal and historical situation in Jerusalem, as well as the opening of the American consulate in the city alongside the reopening of the PLO offices in Washington.

The Secretary General of the PLO Executive Committee, Hossein al-Sheikh, told Kol Palestine radio before the meeting that Abu Mazen will inform the Americans that the Palestinian leadership is considering a package of measures "in response to the escalation against our people."

A series of measures against the Authority

Two weeks ago, the Israeli cabinet announced a series of measures against the Palestinian Authority following its appeal to international institutions to obtain an opinion from the International Court of Justice in The Hague regarding the "ongoing occupation" of the territories.

Among other things, it was decided to offset the allowances of the terrorists and their families from the tax money, as well as to deduct 139 million shekels for the benefit of the families of the victims of terrorism in Israel who were killed in the attacks.

The political advisor of the Palestinian Foreign Minister, Ahmed Adich, told "Israel Today" a day after the move, that in Ramallah they first want to give the Americans an opportunity to intervene in the issue and dissuade the Israeli government from these measures, before the Palestinian leadership decides on possible countermeasures.
