Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday called on U.S. President Donald Trump to rescind his decisions recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and cutting aid to the Palestinians, which he said had undermined the two-state solution to the Middle East conflict.

"With all of these decisions, this administration has reneged on all previous U.S. commitments, and has undermined the two-state solution," Abbas said in his address to the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations.

"I renew my call to President Trump to rescind his decisions and decrees regarding Jerusalem, refugees, and settlements."
