Palestinian leader says ‘cutting all relations’ with US

Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas Saturday announced a cut of all ties with Israel and the United States, including security cooperation, days after Washington unveiled a controversial Middle East peace plan.
Abbas spoke at an Arab League meeting in Cairo called after US President Donald Trump presented the plan, which is seen as staunchly favouring Israel, but offers Palestinians a pathway to a limited state.
“We are informing you that there will be no relations with you (Israel) and the United States, including on security cooperation,” Abbas said.
