Palestinian leader Abbas spurns US peace plan
Ramallah 22 Dec (ANA) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he will not accept any US plan for peace with Israel, after it recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital. His comments came after a UN General Assembly vote effectively repudiated Washington's controversial declaration. Washington has for the past few months been drafting a new peace plan, though it has not divulged any details. Meanwhile, two Palestinians were killed in clashes with Israeli troops amid fresh protests over Jerusalem's status. The men, both in their 20s, were shot dead in the east of the Gaza Strip, the territory's health ministry said. Israel said it was investigating.(ANA)
