"We are warning Israel and the United States against crossing red lines," said a statement by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday following the U.S. administration's announcement for the presentation of its Middle East peace plan.
"We strongly refuse and oppose all U.S. declarations regarding Jerusalem being the capital of Israel," said the statement.
"The Palestinian position supports ending the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories whose capital is East Jerusalem. If the U.S. publishes the 'Deal of the Century', the authority will take steps to protect its basic rights."
