 The meeting started with the welcoming of Ambassador Abdel Raouf Al-Reedy in the interaction and cooperation between the Council and the Yasser Al-Arafat Foundation. There should be an official framework for cooperation such as signing a memorandum of understanding on cooperation between the two sides or another practical framework such as conducting joint research and studies and joint seminars and workshops. Etc..which was called for by Ambassador Mounir Zahran. 

 Dr. Nasser Al-Kidwa confirmed that the Foundation has issued four reports:

•  The first on the US Congress and the Palestine Liberation Organization / legislation in Israel’s service, the second on Trump and the chances of a political deal or move, the third on how to confront U.S plans after the declaration of  Jerusalem as the capital of Israel; the fourth on the state and national independence as a final goal.

Stressing that the United States is unable to play a role in sponsoring the political settlement and the peace process, and it is necessary to search for a neutral international mechanism to take care of the peace process. Stressing that the Authority will not accept any deal that infringes on the rights of the Palestinian citizen and renounce the right to establish a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and does not expect to present balanced ideas from the American administration led by Trump. This is confirmed by the envoy of French President Emmanuel Macaron (Duchvaletti), he also confirmed the need to move to confront Israel regionally and internationally.
