Abbas: I slapped U.S. in face over Trump deal
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says he has "slapped" the U.S. Administration in the face by rejecting President Donald Trump's promised peace plan.
In a speech Monday, Abbas derisively referred to the U.S. peace plan, known as the "Deal of the Century," as the "Slap of the Century."
"They tried to give us the slap of the century, but we slapped them in the face," he said during a ceremony in Ramallah to mark the 15th anniversary of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's death.
