Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki
on Wednesday accused the US of "threatening" member countries of the UN
General Assembly ahead of a vote on rejecting the US decision to recognise
Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Malki said American officials were "committing another mistake when they
have distributed this famous letter trying to threaten countries, (and)
threaten their sovereign decision to choose how to vote."
He spoke at a press conference with his Turkish counterpart in Istanbul,
shortly before he left for New York on the same plane as Turkish Foreign
Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. AFP
