Joint List Chairman MK Ayman Odeh responded to the United States' recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"Trump the people hater is not interested in the fate of the Israelis and certainly not about the fate of the Palestinians. His speech this evening was a combination of ignorance and arrogance, with no implications at all. Trump threw a match today on the Middle East and the price will be paid by both peoples," attacked Odeh.
"Trump's United States officially announced today that it is part of the occupying power and therefore cannot be used as the sponsor of talks between Israelis and Palestinians. The Palestinian people together with the Israeli peace forces will continue their courageous struggle until the end of the occupation and the establishment of a true peace."
