The Palestinian National Council confirmed its strong rejection of the position of the US administration on the non-renewal of the operations of the PLO office in Washington, calling on it to retreat from this step, which is seen as a reward for Israel's continued illegal settlement activities.

The Palestinian National Council said in a press statement issued by its president, Salim Al-Zanoon on Sunday: He rejects the American attempts to pressure the Palestinian side, and considers this step an unacceptable blackmail that is conflicting with the assumed role of the US as mediator and sponsor of efforts to revive the peace process.

The Palestinian National Council stressed that it is acceptable to link the non-renewal of the operations of the PLO office with the right of the Palestinian people to join the International Criminal Court and request that the court look into the Israeli war crimes such as settlement, treatment of political prison, impose the facts on the ground and open criminal investigation of Israel's aggression on the Gaza Strip .
