Saleh Ra'fat of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Executive Committee, said on Sunday that the committee would convene in the coming days to discuss the latest developments and to follow the implementation of PLO Central Council decisions, which called for severing ties with Israel. Interviewed by Voice of Palestine Radio, he sided with applying to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, demanding that a legal investigation be launched against Israel for its "crimes" against the Palestinian people and the joining of "the State of Palestine" to 22 other international organizations.

Saleh also called on Arab countries not to agree to the American administration's soon-to-be presented political plan, to withdraw their investments from the US, to boycott American products, and to stick to previous summit resolutions that cut off ties with any country that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He called for the continuation of the "mass demonstrations of anger" in what he called Palestine and its Diaspora in order to deal with the American position that is biased in favor of Israel.
