PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: May the Americans be cursed

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: "Thanks to King Salman bin Abdulaziz, King of Saudi Arabia, and the crown prince and prime minister, the esteemed Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their brave position against normalization with Israel and for conditioning this on the establishment of a Palestinian state. A great kindness, we thank him. They [Americans] said to him: ‘Normalize,' or something like that. You know the Americans, the Americans are like that. May their father be cursed (laughter and applause). I am not a great Arab leader, I am a dwarf, this small. 33 times I told them [the Americans] ‘No!' But not everybody does that because I've got nothing to lose, may their father be cursed."
