RNA - "We Palestinians realize that the United States, with its current policy, is our main enemy who fully supports Israel. The US wants to deprive us of our legal right to live on our native land. This is why we will fight on all available levels. … We want to force the US to revert its decision," Abdumajid told Sputnik Arabic.

He also described US President Donald Trump’s decision to move Washington Embassy to Jerusalem as "the beginning of the implementation of a massive conspiracy against Palestinians", pointing out that many world powers did not accept the move made by the US President.

"Even Washington’s allies were bewildered by the US policy in Palestine. It is clear now that the United States cannot be considered as a mediator in attempts to resolve the Palestinian issue," he remarked.

Abdumajid also praised Russia for its efforts aimed at resolving the current crisis and declared that Palestine should prepare for a lengthy war for its rights.

According to him, all factions in Palestine need to unite in pursuit of this goal and develop a joint strategy.

The United States held an official ceremony in mid-May for the relocation of its embassy to Jerusalem, cementing the US President’s decision to formally recognize the city as the capital of Israel.

The occasion was marred by a violent clash between Israeli security forces and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which resulted in 63 People being killed and over 2,700 injured.
