Iran Press/ Middle East: "The United States and Israel do not want the Palestinian elections to be successful because holding elections will legitimize opposition to the occupying regime again," Erekat said in an interview with the "Voice of Palestine" radio on Saturday.
According to the Anatolian News Agency, He said, " Washington and Tel Aviv oppose the freedom and independence of our people and continue their efforts to violate international law and regulations."
"Palestinian parties and groups will achieve national unity, and despite US and Israeli challenges and threats, a presidential decree will be issued to determine the timing of the election," He added.
He went on to say that despite claims by the UAE, Bahrain, and Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Abu al-Ghaith that the Tel Aviv plan to annex parts of the West Bank had been halted, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists on the plan.
Erekat stressed that the actions of the occupying regime and the so-called Deal of the Century (US President Donald Trump's proposal to resolve the Palestinian issue) destroy the Arab peace initiative, and shed more blood of Palestinians, and spread chaos in the region.
