Prime Minister Palestine, Mohammad Shtayyeh opened his voice in the secret meeting between IsraelY United States of America dengan putra makhota Saudi Arabia.

Shtayyeh said he was saddened by the news that Arab countries were in talks to reopen embassies in Israel.

“We are saddened by the news that Arab countries are in talks to reopen embassies in Israel, especially since these countries do not have embassies or diplomatic missions on the land of their renowned Palestinian state,” Shtayyeh said.

“I confirm the call of His Excellency President Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas) for the Arab-Arab dialogue on what happened and the need to coordinate a position with the Palestinian leadership on whatever harms us,” he continued as quoted by the press. Associated Press.

Shtayyeh, on Monday (11/23), denounced Pompeo’s visit last Thursday to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Pompeo became the first American diplomat to visit the West Bank settlement of Psagot built on the land of Al-Bireh (Palestine).

The visit came as the US State Department explored major policy changes by announcing that products that originated from the settlement could be labeled “Made in Israel.”

The two moves reflect the Trump administration’s acceptance of Israeli settlements, which the Palestinians and much of the international community see as a violation of international law and a major obstacle to peace.

“Pompeo’s visit and the announcement of the product come in the context of an attack on the rights of our people and a violation of international law, aimed at destroying the geography of Palestine, legitimizing the settlement activities,” Shtayyeh said.

However, Pompeo’s announcement, which is largely symbolic in nature, could be overturned by the administration of President-elect Joe Biden. Biden is known to promise a more equitable approach to Israel and Palestine. ‘

An unidentified diplomatic correspondent for Israel’s public broadcaster said that Netanyahu and the head of the Mossad spy agency, Yossi Cohen “flew to Saudi Arabia yesterday and met with Pompeo and MBS in the city of Neom.”

Several other Israeli media outlets also reported similar information on Monday morning.

But Netanyahu’s office declined to comment on the report.

The meeting came after Israel agreed to an agreement to normalize relations with the two Saudi allies in the Gulf, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain.
