Israel National News reports: “Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ spokesman on Sunday rejected the remarks of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, in which he said that ‘Jerusalem is a unified city.’

The spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, said in a press statement quoted by the Xinhua news agency that ‘East Jerusalem and all its holy sites will remain the eternal capital of the state of Palestine under the United Nations resolutions and international law.’

‘Security and stability would never be achieved in the region as long as Israel continues its war on the Palestinian people and their land,’ he stated.

Abu Rudeineh added the only way to achieve stability and everlasting peace is ‘to gain the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, mainly establishing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.’…”
