Monday 18-December-2017

Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday signed 22 agreements and international treaties that are believed to strengthen the legal status of the State of Palestine on a global scale.

These important agreements would make the State of Palestine a key partner in discussing and addressing the fundamental issues facing the whole world the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

Earlier in the day Abbas said during a meeting of the PA leadership in Ramallah that the decision of the U.S. President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is devoid of any legitimacy.

Abbas vowed to take all necessary steps legal and diplomatic against Trump’s move adding that the U.S. role as a peace broker has fallen apart.
