Abbas: 'I will not go down as a traitor'

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas slammed Donald Trump's so-called "deal of the century" and called the US President "a son of a bitch."

"They called me from Washington and I did not pick up the phone," Abbas said on Tuesday.

"I said no and I will continue to say no... We are going for difficult days and we are beginning to bear the consequences of the refusal.

He added: "I was told I'll pay a heavy price for my foolish behavior. I do not have much longer to live and I will not go down as a traitor. It's either dying like martyrs or flying the Palestinian flag on the walls of Jerusalem."
