RNA - Khaled stressed that the Donald Trump administration moved from the site of support and bias to the occupation to the site of participation in the aggression against the Palestinian people, WAFA reported.

“With all its forces and political currents and institutions, the PLO reject this deal,” he added.

Khaled also affirmed the unified Palestinian position towards the latest political developments, especially the so-called Deal of the Century, which he stressed is “a plan to liquidate the Palestinian cause by canceling the issues of Jerusalem and refugees, consolidating the settlement reality and maintaining the Israeli occupation control over more than half of the occupied Palestinian territories”.

He further referred to the crimes committed by the Israel against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, and included the horrific metaphor against thousands of peaceful demonstrators in the marches of the return, which led to the killing of more than 125 Palestinian citizens and wounded thousands of protesters.

“The US administration and the occupying power exploit the humanitarian disaster that both have contributed to its aggravation,” he said, pointing out that the Gaza issue is the issue of the Palestinian people, which he affirmed is a national and political right and not just an urgent humanitarian situation.

He called on the State of Ecuador to support the Palestinian people through its influential relations with the countries of South and Central America in light of some of these countries escaping their obligations under international law and transfering their embassies from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem.
