US envoy Haley leads anti-Palestinian 'crusade': PLO
|
[Al Jazeera] A senior Palestinian official has blasted US President Donald Trump's UN envoy, accusing her of carrying out a "crusade" against the Palestinian people.
Hanan Ashrawi, a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), said on Wednesday that Nikki Haley was leading a "one-woman crusade... against Palestine and the Palestinian people individually and collectively".
"Through an obsessive and targeted campaign of intimidation and threats, Miss Haley's crusade does not miss an opportunity to put pressure on anyone that seeks to challenge Israeli impunity," she added.
Ashrawi said Haley was echoing remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon defended Haley's work.
"Small wonder Hanan Ashrawi is unhappy - @nikkihaley fights for a fair treatment of #Israel, exactly what the #Palestinians don't want...," he wrote on Twitter.
Palestinian officials have privately expressed increasing alarm at the Trump administration's pro-Israel stance as the US president seeks to restart peace negotiations.
And so they should be -- President Trump is changing everything. | However, until Wednesday they had publicly refrained from criticising senior US officials.
The Palestinians eagerly grasp the opportunity to lose another opportunity. Like scorpions, they have the virtue of consistency. | Haley visited Israel and the Palestinian territories in June.
