(CNSNews.com) – Two months after Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas called publicly for Israeli officials to be tried by the International Criminal Court, the Trump administration, in line with U.S. law, is threatening to close the Palestinian mission in Washington – and the P.A. is furious.
The move is in striking contrast to the previous administration’s dealing with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) office in D.C., which in 2010 President Obama allowed to upgrade its name to PLO Delegation to the United States and to fly the Palestinian flag there. A waiver has enabled the PLO to maintain an office in Washington for the past 23 years.
When a group of Republican lawmakers in 2015 urged the administration to revoke the waiver over P.A. incitement of violence against Israelis, the John Kerry State Department refused, saying that “we believe closing the PLO office would be detrimental to our ongoing efforts to calm current tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, advance a two-state solution, and strengthen the U.S.-Palestinian partnership.”
But now the waiver appears to be in jeopardy, and the two most visible Palestinian figures, chief negotiator Saeb Erekat and PLO executive committee member Hanan Ashrawi, are leading the condemnation.........To Read More.....
My Take - So the PLO is threatening the administration and the United States to stop talking to us if they can't have their way? And they demanding their way or the United States will not be allowed to be a part of the Peace Process? Did I understand all of that properly?
Let's start with saying this as clearly as possible. There is no peace process, it's just a lot of talk funded by leftists in western governments, with the money of taxpayers who recognize the PLO is a violent, lying, terrorist organization that should not only be condemned, it should be attacked. As for their threat about not talking to us any longer: Is this all it took to shut them up?
