Palestine to take measures against Israel, U.S. over annexation plan: Abbas

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned on Friday that measures will be taken against Israel and the United States if Israeli plan of annexing West Bank is implemented.

Abbas' warning was made in a meeting he chaired at his office in the city of Ramallah for the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.

"As soon as Israel announces that it adopts the annexation plan, we will take the proper measures, which will not be against Israel alone, but also against America," said Abbas.

Abbas didn't say what are the measures that will be taken, but he renewed his rejection of the U.S. peace plan for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, also known as "The Deal of the Century."
