Fox News
The president of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, denounced the United States as being a mediator of peace in the Middle East during a speech where Vladimir Putin was present.
"We don't trust the U.S.," Abbas said, speaking in Arabic, as Putin looked on. "We don't accept the U.S., under any condition, (as) a single party in solving the Middle East problem," he added.
He said the Palestinians would only consider U.S. mediation if it were part of the "Quartet," a grouping of nations that includes Russia.
