(Worthy News) – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday again vowed to oppose any peace proposal by US President Donald Trump as PLO officials met to consider their next moves.

Abbas has boycotted the White House since that December decision, though the US president’s team is still expected to release a peace plan in the coming months. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
