FRANCE 24 spoke to the Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority (PA) Mohammad Shtayyeh in Brussels where he unreservedly criticised the new Israeli government, claiming its goal is “annexation”, and adding that “the whole settlement programme was designed to destroy the two-state solution”. The prime minister also expressed “big disappointment” with Joe Biden’s administration, recalling how he was “very hopeful” when Biden was elected, but now believes that the promises made by Washington will never materialise.
