Palestinians Rebuff US House of Representatives' Warning
Pyongyang, July 12 (KCNA) -- Saeb Erekat, member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, in a press interview on July 8 rebuffed the U.S. House of Representatives' warning.

The U.S. House of Representatives adopted a decision on July 7 to cut off aid if the Palestinian National Authority applies a written request on the recognition of an independent state to the United Nations in September.

"The decision is rejected, denounced and unjustified," he said.

"I don't believe that the U.S. decision would influence the Palestinian leadership's decision to apply to the UN," said Erekat.
