Most recently, the PA chairman said he will consider rescinding the PA’s recognition of the state of Israel’s existence if President-elect Trump follows through with his plan. Meanwhile, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault referred to Trump’s plan to relocate the US embassy as a ‘provocation’ during the Paris summit on Sunday focusing on implementing a two-state solution between Israel and the PA.Read Jerusalem court orders Palestinian Authority to pay family of intifada victims $12.3 millionBy: Jonathan Benedek, World Israel News AyraultPalestinian AuthorityParis Peace ConferenceUS embassy
