PA spokesman: We thwarted the US peace plan

Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas, boasted on Tuesday that the PA had thwarted the US peace plan.

In a statement quoted by the PA’s official Wafa news agency, Abu Rudeineh said that the Palestinian national stand, the international consensus and the insistence on the independent decision have once again thwarted all “conspiracies” against the Palestinian cause and preserved Jerusalem, its holy places and the Palestinian identity.
