Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas

Palestine's National Authority President has said Israeli settlements are condemned to "the dustbin of history," while visiting a Palestinian refugee camp near Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.

Iran Press/Middle East: Mahmoud Abbas made the comment on Saturday in his visit to Jalazon camp, addressing Palestinian refugees ahead of the Eid al-Adha.

Jalazon camp is located in the opposite side of Israeli settlement Beit El, at the northern entrance of Ramallah city.  

"The Palestinian people will remain steadfast, resilient and struggling on its land," WAFA said quoting Abbas.

The comments by Abbas have raised  eyebrows since the President of the Palestinian Authority has proved to be unpopular for his clandestine security cooperation with the Israeli regime.

Two days before Abbas' visit of the camp, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Beit El settlement, inaugurating the construction of 650 more buildings in the neighbourhood. 213/211/215
