PLO chief Erekat: 'annexing parts of West Bank is a war crime'

PLO chief Saeb Erekat slammed Saturday U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman for saying that Israel has the right to annex some parts of the West Bank and called such a move "a war crime."

"Washington gives everybody enough reasons not to attend the Bahrain economic summit," said Erekat, referring to the U.S.-lead meeting planned for the end of June, set to discuss President Donald Trump's peace plan between Israel and the Palestinians.
