Palestinian PM Mustafa forms new cabinet, prioritizing Gaza ceasefire and reconstruction, aiming for PA reform amid strained relations with Hamas.
The letter was delivered the day after the United States did not veto a UN vote calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan. The resolution passed with 14 votes in favor.
The US said that its abstention in the vote for Monday's resolution was due to the resolution's failure to condemn Hamas.
Netanyahu canceled a scheduled visit to Washington by two of his most senior aides who were due to hear US ideas about operational alternatives.
Israel's delegation, led by MK Danny Danon, successfully stopped the attempt to pass both proposals, which were ultimately voted down.
On Saturday, Israel agreed to a compromise proposed by the US regarding the number of Palestinian prisoners to be released.
"The Biden administration’s failure to veto the resolution enabled this anti-Israel/antisemitic resolution to pass. Calling for an 'immediate ceasefire' enables Hamas’ terror army to survive."
