Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh received today, in his office in Ramallah, a British parliamentary delegation from the Conservative Party headed by Chairman of the Defense Committee in Parliament Tobias Elwood, where he briefed him on the latest political developments.
“The map of Palestine as proposed in Donald Trump’s plan is a disastrous map reflecting a dismembered Palestinian state linked by bridges and tunnels which Israel can close whenever it wants,” said the premier.
Shtayyeh called on the British Parliament and European parliaments who voted for the recognition of the Palestinian state to pressure their governments to do so, in order to protect the two-state solution and stand up for justice for the Palestinian people in light of the threat that Trump’s plan poses to international law.
He stressed the need to establish a mechanism to sponsor peace process, particularly after the United States lost its role as an honest broker of the peace process, and the need for terms of references on the basis of international law and UN resolutions and within a specific time frame to end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories .
