Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas speaks at a conference in Cairo, Egypt, where he said the US leader's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital was "sinful"
PALESTINIAN President Mahmoud Abbas declared today that he will pursue “all options available” to secure Palestine’s freedom, but not violence or terrorism.
