Palestinian FM: Biden Has Failed To Reverse Trump’s ‘Unlawful’ Policies on Israel

Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Riyad Malki slammed US President Joe Biden on Thursday for moving too slowly to reverse what he called the Trump Administration’s “unlawful and ill-advised” policies on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and of neglecting to apply enough pressure on Israel to end “its rejection of a two-state solution and peace negotiations.” Malki told the UN Security Council that Palestinians hoped the end of Trump’s rule in Washington and Netanyahu’s in Jerusalem “would be enough to pave the way for renewed momentum for peace” but that they had been disappointed. He criticized the Biden Administration in particular for failing to reopen the US Consulate in Jerusalem that previously acted the US diplomatic mission to the Palestinians.  The Palestinians, he told reporters, thought the US “could try to move the Israeli position toward us,” but instead, “the Israeli position has been able to move the American position a little bit toward them.” Meanwhile, Israel’s UN ambassador, Gilad Erdan, accused Malki of making “regurgitated accusations and baseless claims” against the Jewish state while ignoring hundreds of attacks that Palestinians had carried out against Israel in the last month. Erdan also accused the Security Council of “hypocrisy” and said peace would only come when the council applies its “moral compass correctly.”
