THE Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) said today that there could be no peace talks while the US legitimises Israel’s claim to Jerusalem.

PLO secretary-general Saeb Erekat told Voice of Palestine radio the Fatah-led government would refuse peace talks with Israel until US President Donald Trump reverses his unilateral recognition of the city as Israel’s capital.

“The Palestinian leadership will not accept any offers for negotiations unless the American decision on Jerusalem is annulled,” he said.
