PA: We will not agree to 'Deal of the Century'

Palestinian Authority (PA) cabinet leader Mohammad Shtayyeh on Thursday called for continued support for the steadfastness of Arab residents of Jerusalem, noting that the city would continue to be a symbol of Arabism and would be open to all religions.

In a speech at a conference in Geneva, Shtayyeh said that the Palestinian issue faces a number of challenges, including the so-called “Deal of the Century”, the American initiative to resolve the conflict, and the attempts to blackmail the Palestinians so that they accept the initiative.
