RAMALLAH, Palestine, Aug 26 (NNN-WAFA) – Palestine slammed the United States for deleting the name of Palestine from its list of countries and states.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman of the Palestinian presidency, said, in an official press statement that, the decision represents “unprecedented deterioration in the American foreign policy.”
“This step again shows the U.S. government is not only biased towards the Israeli occupation, but is fully aligned with the plans of the extremist Israeli right-wing,” Rudeineh added.
Earlier in the day, Israel Radio reported that the U.S. State Department, deleted any reference to the Palestinian territories or the Palestinian Authority on its official website.
The Palestinian Authority severed its political ties with the United States, following President Donald Trump’s announcement in Dec, 2017, that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
In May, 2018, Washington moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
“The current U.S. government implements the Israeli vision of destroying the two-state solution, and escaping from its entitlements,” the ministry said, in a press statement.
