Following the US president's December 6 revelation, Abbas said the US had surrendered its conventional part as the middle person of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. He has likewise declined to meet with American authorities in regards to the peace procedure.
"We are not against backpedaling to transactions, but rather (these ought to be) founded on global laws and resolutions that have perceived an autonomous Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital," Abu Rudeineh said.
His remarks came hours after Hanan Ashrawi, an individual from the Palestinian National Council, said the Palestinians would not be "extorted" by US dangers.
"President Trump has attacked our look for peace, opportunity and equity. Presently he sets out to accuse the Palestinians for the results of his own untrustworthy activities!" she said in an announcement.
Recognizing his push to representative peace in the Middle East had slowed down, Trump on Tuesday undermined to remove all guide to the PA, inquiring as to why Washington should make "any of these gigantic future installments" when the Palestinians were "never again eager to talk peace."
The United States at present gives the PA over $300 million in yearly guide.
In a tweet, the president rejected Palestinian wrath over his acknowledgment of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, saying he had made arrangements for Israel "to pay" in future transactions for his announcement. Yet, Palestinian stubbornness was presently keeping any advance on peace talks, he said.
Washington was paying the Palestinian Authority a huge number of dollars a year "in vain," he composed, griping that the US got "no thankfulness or regard" consequently.

"Yet, with the Palestinians never again eager to talk peace," he went on, "for what reason would it be advisable for us to make any of these monstrous future installments to them?"
Trump has, previously, voiced help on a basic level for enactment that would considerably slice US help to the PA on the off chance that it proceeds with its routine with regards to paying the groups of fear based oppressors who execute Israelis.

"We're endeavoring to move for a peace procedure yet in the event that that doesn't occur the president wouldn't keep on funding that circumstance."
The US was the greatest benefactor to UNRWA in 2016, giving $368,429,712. It is likewise the biggest general provider of money related help for the Palestinians.
Tuesday's tweets denoted an unsaid confirmation by Trump that his choice to perceive Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move the US international safe haven there has tossed a torque into his organization's intends to restart the peace procedure amongst Israelis and Palestinians, which he had named "a definitive arrangement."
Trump entrusted child in-law Jared Kushner with restarting the exertion, and brought his previous lawyer, Jason Greenblatt, into the White House to lead the transactions. Trump's Mideast peace group had held gatherings with Israeli, Palestinian and Arab pioneers for almost a year in front of a normal peace proposition.
On Sunday, the PA said it was reviewing its emissary to the United States for conferences, in dissent of US activities. It later said the diplomat would return.
Trump has said his choice simply perceived the truth that Jerusalem as of now fills in as Israel's capital and wasn't intended to prejudge the last outskirts of the city.
At the point when Trump proclaimed Jerusalem to be Israel's capital, he demanded that the move would enhance, not hurt, prospects for securing a peace bargain.
