The U.S. Embassy in will move to Jerusalem by the end of 2019, U.S. Vice President said in a speech to the Israeli parliament on Monday that highlighted a policy shift that has stoked Palestinian anger and worldwide concern. The recent announcement by Trump to move the embassy was met with backlash from Palestinian leadership, with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas slamming Trump's plan as "the slap of the century".
Though shunned by the Palestinians, the Trump administration says it remains committed to helping them and Israel negotiate a peace deal.
"I call upon countries to refrain from opening any diplomatic representation in Jerusalem", Abbas said in his trademark soft but powerful tone.
The Palestinian Authority (PA), which has limited governance over the occupied West Bank, was established following the Oslo Accords.

What I see in training is him working very hard to work with the team and I am sure he will be very important. We've been there a few times now and we're happy to be going again".
But US President Donald Trump's decision on Jerusalem has made the United States a side biased with Israel, thus excluding itself as an intermediary in the peace process.
"We are prepared for negotiations, and we never meant to leave the talks, but regrettably no one is offering us talks, especially not the Americans, who now wish to punish us", he added. "In a few conversations he promised a good deal for the conflict, and then came this bad surprise, which we can not accept", the PA chairman was quoted as having said. "The Oslo Accords are dead and, despite the fact that Israel has failed to respect its commitments, we have not yet stopped the security cooperation".
"He did a great service for peace because peace can only be based on truth, on reality".
He reiterated that due to Trump's decision regarding Jerusalem, the United States can no longer be a mediator.
