U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday voiced regret at Palestinian threats to end security coordination if Israel annexes territory in line with President Donald Trump's Middle East plan.
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, playing one of his only cards, said Tuesday evening that his government was absolved of all agreements with Israel and the United States - including three-way security cooperation.
"We hope that the security arrangements will continue to be in place, that the work that's done on the ground there to keep people in Israel and Palestinians safe will continue," Pompeo told reporters.
"I regret that he's decided to abrogate these agreements," Pompeo said.
