Abbas: US funding cut is 'flagrant assault' against Palestinian people

A US decision to halt funding to a UN agency helping Palestinian refugees was a "flagrant assault" against Palestinian people, a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said on Friday.
"The consecutive American decisions represent a flagrant assault against the Palestinian people and a defiance of UN resolutions," spokesman Nabil Abu Rdainah told Reuters. "Such a punishment will not succeed to change the fact that the United States no longer has a role in the region and that it is not a part of the solution."
