Chief Palestinian Negotiator to Nikki Haley: ‘Shut Up’
< >
TEL AVIV – President Donald Trump’s administration is orchestrating a “coup” to get rid of the Palestinian leadership and his Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley should learn to “shut up” and refrain from criticizing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Secretary of the PLO Executive Committee Saeb Erekat said in an interview published on Saturday.
“Nikki Haley needs to shut up and realize that the Palestinian leadership is not the problem,” the top Palestinian diplomat said in interview with the Palestinian Al-Watan Voice news website. “Instead, the problem is the Israeli occupation and the policies it continues to pursue. I’m not saying that we don’t make mistakes; every society and every government makes mistakes.”
His remarks came in response to Haley’s condemnation of a speech given by Abbas at the PLO’s most recent meeting in which the PA chief spread lies and anti-Semitic verbal abuse against Israel.
“She called for overthrowing the democratically elected Palestinian president,” Erekat complained, calling the UN envoy “impudent.”
Erekat, who was the PA’s chief negotiator, failed to mention that Abbas’ four-year term ended in 2012 and since then no elections have been held.
