Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has signed 22 agreements and international treaties that strengthen the legal status of the State of Palestine on a global scale..

The accords are likely to make the State of Palestine a key partner in discussing and addressing global fundamental issues.

In the meantime, the Palestinian government slammed as "unacceptable" Monday a US veto of a draft UN resolution against President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
