Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran of keeping a "secret atomic warehouse" just outside its capital, despite the 2015 deal with world powers that was meant to keep it from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Holding up a poster-board map of an area near Tehran before world leaders at the UN General Assembly, Netanyahu said Thursday Iranian officials were keeping tons of nuclear equipment and material in a warehouse near a rug-cleaning operation.
Iranian state media called the announcement "ridiculous" and an "illusion."
"The Palestinian people's rights are not up for bargaining." He said Palestinians would never reject negotiation, but that "it's really ironic that the American administration still talks about what they call the 'deal of the century.'"
"What is left for this administration to give to the Palestinian people?" he asked. "What is left as a political solution?" Added Abbas: "We are not redundant. Why are we treated as redundant people who should be gotten rid of?"
