Top PA negotiator urged Abbas to reject US peace deal as details emerged

A television report Friday detailed the US peace plan on which Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was reportedly briefed earlier this month, and to which he apparently was responding in his recent enraged speech against Israel and the White House.

According to a Channel 10 news report, top Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat presented Abbas with a 92-page document outlining the peace plan being formulated by the Trump administration, that would include a number of measures previously rejected by the Palestinians. Erekat is said to have urged Abbas to reject the plan outright.

The TV report seemed to correspond with a Hadashot news report earlier this week, which said an associate of the PA leader had traveled to Saudi Arabia to receive details of Trump’s peace plan.
