MADRID, November 21, 2017 (WAFA - official PLO news agency) - Nabil Abu
Rudeineh, spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas, said on Tuesday that "the
recent Palestinian moves came in response to some unacceptable US measures."

Abu Rudeineh was referring to the Palestinian decision to cut all
communications with the US following its decision to close the Palestinian
diplomatic mission in Washington.

He stressed that while "the Palestinian decision is going to face the
challenges with firm and national positions," the coming period "is critical
and an opportunity to correct Palestinian-American relations."

Abu Rudeineh called on Hamas "to pick up on these courageous positions to
return to the legitimate fold and not allow anyone to play in the
Palestinian arena."

Abbas' Fatah movement and Hamas are holding talks to end 10 years of
division that would reunite the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Abu Rudeineh was speaking from Madrid where Abbas is on an official visit.
