Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for Mahmoud Abbas, the President of the Palestinian Authority, commented on Sunday on Israel's decision to not respond to the plead to let Palestinian residents of eastern Jerusalem vote in the upcoming Palestinian elections.
"This is crossing a red line, we cannot have an election without Jerusalem," said Abu Rudeineh. "The Authority will make all efforts to come to an agreement with Israel on the matter and let the residents of eastern Jerusalem vote."
