Sources from Gaza stated that Ahmad Tamimi, a Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee member, in a press statement termed the US President's comments as "useless". He said "Trump's remarks express the biased US policy towards Israel and a continuation of the US illusions, which include passing the new peace 'Deal of Century' without Jerusalem being the capital for the Palestinian state". The senior PLO official said "Trump won't be able to remove the issue of Jerusalem from hearts of the Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims”.



The Palestinian leaders have repeatedly announced their categorical rejection of any US Middle East peace plan that excludes Jerusalem, the refugees issue and Jewish settlements. Trump said in a speech in Virginia "During the negotiations, Israel will pay a much higher price because it has taken a very valuable gift”, further referring to his recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel last December.

Accordingly Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas earlier said that he will neither hold talks with the Trump administration nor accept it as the peace mediator before it backs down on its decision on Jerusalem. Moreover Hamas spokesman in Gaza, Sami Abu Zuhri, called Trump's decision to remove Jerusalem from Palestinian Israeli talks "very dangerous and severing all contacts and ties with the US administration”.
