Palestinian Minister announced the resumption of contacts with Israel
The Palestinian Authority agreed to resume coordination with the Israeli authorities, suspended in May over Israel’s plans to annex part of the West Bank. Hussein al-Sheikh, Palestinian Minister of Civil Affairs and member of the Fatah Central Committee, wrote about this on his Twitter.
According to him, in the course of contacts carried out by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian authorities were given guarantees that Israel would be committed to the agreements signed with the Palestinians. “Accordingly, the course of relations with Israel will return to what it was,” he wrote.
Earlier, there were statements from Ramallah that the Palestinian leadership expects a clear position from the elected US President Joe Biden on the Middle East settlement and it will be based on this that it will build its position. As Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said today, Ramallah hopes to cancel the decisions of US President Donald Trump on the Middle East settlement of the coming to the White House of the Joe Biden administration. First of all, we are talking about the transfer of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, the cessation of funding for Palestine, and support for the annexation of the West Bank.
According to the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, Mr. al-Sheikh’s statement surprised many members of the Palestinian leadership over what was done amid talks in Cairo between Fatah and Hamas. Recall that attempts at reconciliation between the two movements resumed against the backdrop of the threat of Israeli annexation.
