Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the official spokesman for the Palestinian presidency, said that the policy of threats, constant pressure, and attempts to blackmail President Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian leadership will be doomed to failure. He added that only the Palestinian people decide their leadership on democratic foundations, and not through intimidation and coercion policies that David Friedman, the American ambassador to Israel, is trying to exert pressure on the leadership of the Palestinian people. It is noteworthy that the words of “Abu Rudeina” came in the context of Friedman’s statements, in which he says that America wants to replace President Abbas with Mohammed Dahlan, the dismissed leader of the Fatah movement.
