decker in gaza of course there were big protests there against trump's plan on friday looking for mahmoud abbas looking for a united arab front against approaches that won't be so easy this time judging by the the early reaction we had from the likes of saudi arabia. get that i think this is a 1st step. is looking for support 1st and foremost from the arab countries in rejection of this deal this is something that historically also yasser arafat's. umbrella of support and abbas throughout the years of negotiating of trying to deal with any potential plan that was on the table i think this is a 1st it's significant come all of the response nothing is hidden anymore if you read the responses that you've had of the gulf countries of the middle countries with the exception of jordan joined of course because of the holy sites very muted welcoming the efforts to negotiate and sort of leaving it kind of i. that you know strong words of condemnation this is something that has been noted this is something that was also even spoken about in the sermons here on friday at the mall so they called the

palestinian leader mahmoud abbas spoke before the 15 member body that leads the united nations and made his case about why palestine is rejecting the proposal put forward by the white house and israel take a listen. i have come to you to call for a just peace on behalf of the palestinians i have come to you today to reaffirm the palestinian position which rejects the israeli american proposal this is supported by the results of meetings of the arab league you have a nice asian economic cooperation and the african union they have who concluded that this plan must be completely rejected that's in addition to statements by the e.u. russia china japan and others. now abbas did mention he was open to negotiations with israel as long as the negotiations were sponsored by what is referred to as the international quartet united states the u.n. russia and the european union now the israeli representative got up and spoke and indicated that israel feels that in the past negotiations with palestinians have been unsuccessful here's what we heard from the israeli representative president abbas few o

the realities on the ground in the occupied west bank having said that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has in the past already threatened to cut security relations security cordon nation with israel and we have to wait and see whether he will implement those steps soon in the coming days and what's also significant today is probably told the palestinians to support their cards through the arab league through this statement that they reject this plan by the terms of ministration because initially the statements by some of the arab states where they muted except for jordan and it's important for them to get this broad rejection by the arab league of the plan showing a united front there now going back to to this move to suspend relations with israel in the u.s. and what exactly does that mean in practice. well we're talking here about security relations the palestinian leaders have already cut off diplomatic ties with the trump administration in december 2017 that was when president trying to. recognize to some ask the capital of israel but still kept some relations with us securit

as well and that send so we have heard the palestinian president mahmoud abbas before threatening to stop security coordination so we have to wait and see whether this will be implemented right now but i also think what is significant today is the big support the palestinians got from this statement by the arab league the meeting of the foreign ministers in cairo and that show says not such a broad support among arab states because the initial reactions from individual arab states to the plan whereby that new to it but now this strong we reject this and what is this suspension of relations now tanya what is it likely to mean on the ground. well we're talking here about 2 different kind of relations on the one hand the palestinian leadership in ramallah has already cut of diplomatic ties with the trump administration back in december 2017 after the true celeb decision know what they're talking about now is to cut off also some of the security ties they had kept for example with the u.s. intelligence intelligence agencies on the other hand talking about the security coordination with i
