Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas launched a scathing attack on U.S. President Donald Trump during a speech at the African Union Summit on Saturday, condemning what he described as efforts to displace the Palestinian people.
"There are calls to tear our people from their land and erase the Palestinian cause," Abbas said, reiterating the PA’s absolute rejection of any such efforts.
"Anyone who believes they can impose a new 'Deal of the Century', displace our people, and take every inch of our land is delusional," Abbas declared, in a reference to Trump’s previous 2020 Israeli-Palestinian peace proposal.
