The Palestinian Authority has cut all ties with the US and Israel, including those relating to security, after rejecting a Middle East peace plan presented by Donald Trump, the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, said on Saturday.

Meanwhile the Arab League has rejected a Middle East peace plan put forward by US President Donald Trump. It said the plan would not lead to a just deal for both sides.


Arab foreign ministers meeting in Cairo, Egypt to discuss US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which was formally announced last week, have rejected the proposal.

In a communique, the Arab League said it would not cooperate with the US to execute the plan because it “does not meet the minimum rights and aspirations of Palestinian people.”
The pan-Arab bloc also said Israel should not implement the initiative by force.
The meeting at the Arab League headquarters came at the request of the Palestinians.
