PA: Trump is a partner to the 'occupation'

Palestinian Authority (PA) cabinet chief Rami Hamdallah said on Monday that the Palestinians would not surrender to the American "blackmail" that was expressed in the decisions made by the Trump administration in recent months, the last of which was the cut in financial aid to the PA that was announced on Friday.

In a speech in Bethlehem, Hamdallah said that the U.S. administration is no longer a partner for peace, as it is now a partner to the "occupation" and to undermining security, not only in "Palestine" but in the region as a whole.
