Palestine to Cancel All ‘Israel’, US Deals If Annexation Plot Continues

President of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas said Palestine will nullify all agreements with the United States and the Zionist entity if the Tel Aviv regime annexes any part of the occupied West Bank, urging the international community to block attempts by the regime to exploit the coronavirus outbreak and steal more Palestinian land.

“We have informed all international parties that should ‘Israel’ take this step, we will be absolved of all obligations, agreements and understandings with ‘Israel’ and the US administration,” he said on Monday in an address to a virtual meeting of the leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement [NAM] Contact Group.

The remarks came shortly after Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party submitted a bill to the ‘Israeli’ Knesset [parliament] that calls for the imposition of Tel Aviv’s “sovereignty” over the Palestinian regions of the Jordan Valley, the northern Dead Sea area and the occupied West Bank.

Abbas urged the world community, including NAM and Security Council member states, to “uphold their responsibilities in ensuring the applicability of international law, and to prevent the Zionist government from taking advantage of the pandemic to move ahead with its plans to annex parts of the Palestinian territory occupied in 1967, in violation of the Palestinian people’s rights and in grave breach of international law.”
