Palestinian peace negotiator tells Nikki Haley to 'shut up'


In a new interview, a top Palestinian official told off U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley after she criticized Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

"Nikki Haley needs to shut up and realize that the Palestinian leadership is not the problem," Saeb Erekat told the website Al-Watan Voice on Saturday, the Times of Israel reports.

Erekat is a lead Palestinian peace negotiator and the secretary general of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

"Instead, the problem is the Israeli occupation and the policies it continues to pursue. I'm not saying that we don't make mistakes; every society and every government makes mistakes."
