Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has declared all security agreements with Israel and the US void in response to the imminent threat of further Israeli annexation of parts of the West Bank which are supported by the US President Donald Trump.

“The Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] and the state of Palestine are absolved, as of today, of all the agreements and understandings with the American and Israeli governments and of all the commitments based on these understandings and agreements, including the security ones”, - Abbas said during an emergency meeting in Ramallah.

Citing a Palestinian official who was in attendance, Haaretz reported that Abbas only intends to stop coordination, but had not yet “closed the door”. Palestinian security forces may reduce their engagement with their counterparts in Israel, according to the source.
