Osama Qawasmeh, member of the Political Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), said today the Palestinian leadership, chaired by President Mahmoud Abbas, have categorically rejected all the pressures practiced against them not to go ahead with the decisions taken recently regarding the relationship with Israel.

On January 26, the Palestinian leadership and in response to the Israeli army massacre in Jenin decided to immediately end security coordination with Israel.

“The stances of brotherly countries supporting the position of the Palestinian leadership in their pursuit of the rights of our people are very important,” Qawasmeh told Voice of Palestine radio.

He added, “The decisions that taken [by the leadership] are irreversible and have entered into force, whether with regard to the relationship with Israel or seeking action at international institutions in light of the unsustainability of the current status quo.”
