In his speech, Abbas again lashed out at the US administration for supporting “Israeli aggression against Palestinians and reneging on its international political, legal and moral obligations.”The US administration, Abbas charged, “has undertaken extremely aggressive and unlawful measures, declaring Jerusalem as the so-called capital of Israel and moving its embassy there.” Jerusalem, he added, “will remain the eternal capital of Palestine regardless of any schemes or actions.”The PA president also condemned the US administration’s 2018 decision to halt US funding to UNRWA as “immoral and inhumane.”He repeated his criticism and rejection of the US administration’s upcoming Middle East peace plan, also known as the “Deal of the Century,” accusing the White House of “peddling deceptive and illusive economic solutions after it destroyed by its policies and measures all possibilities to achieve peace.”Abbas said that US policies have “emboldened the government of the Israeli occupation to renege all signed agreements and its commitments towards peace, pushing large segments of the Palestinian people to lose hope in the long-awaited peace, and jeopardizing the two-state solution.”Abbas said that the Palestinians never missed an opportunity to hold serious negotiations with Israel. “We have not found an Israeli partner, and found obstacles and challenges imposed by the Israeli government that continues to refuse to come to the negotiating table,” he said.Renewing his call for convening an international conference for peace in the Middle East, Abbas said that the proposed parley should “adopt a plan based on the international consensus, UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, within a defined time frame, to end the occupation.”Abbas made a similar call during his speech to the General Assembly last year, where he also strongly criticized Israel and the US administration.The US, Abbas said, is no longer entitled to have a monopoly over the peace process. “We cannot accept that the shepherding of peace be monopolized by one country,” he said.
