RAMALLAH, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Secretary General of Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) Saeb Erekat on Sunday accused the United States of destroying any hope for peace in the Middle East, according to his official twitter account and media sources.

Erekat said that the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are committed to international law and international legitimacy in their demand to establish a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders.

In his statements, Erekat said that American policy was responsible for the failure of the peace process, particularly after the cessation of U.S. aid to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and "the administration's blind bias in favor of Israel, which continues its settlement activity policy."

Erekat added "the current situation is leading to the collapse of the principle of a two-state solution and replacing it with a one-state solution that implements two regimes and continues the occupation."
