Palestine vows resistance after US aid cut
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas speaks at a conference in Cairo, Egypt, where he said the US leader's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital was "sinful"

PALESTINIAN President Mahmoud Abbas declared today that he will pursue “all options available” to secure Palestine’s freedom, but not violence or terrorism.

Speaking to the Al-Azhar international conference in support of Jerusalem in Cairo, Mr Abbas reaffirmed Monday’s vote by the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) Central Council to withdraw from the Oslo peace accords and cease recognition of the Israeli state.

“We will not trust the American administration which is no longer suitable for the role of mediator of the peace process,” Mr Abbas told the conference in Egypt, as quoted by the Wafa news agency.
