Palestinian leaders vote to urge PLO to suspend recognition of Israel

RAMALLAH — Palestinian leaders voted on Monday to call for the suspension of recognition of Israel, as they met in response to US President Donald Trump’s acknowledgement of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

The vote ordered the Palestine Liberation Organisation to suspend its recognition of the Jewish state until Israel “recognizes the state of Palestine,” cancels its annexation of East Jerusalem, and stops settlement activity, a statement said.

It was unclear if the vote by the Palestinian Central Council, a high-ranking arm of the PLO, was binding. A previous vote by the council in 2015 to suspend security coordination with Israel was never implemented.

The vote was 74 in favour, two against, with 12 abstentions, according to an AFP journalist present.

On Sunday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas denounced White House peace efforts as the “slap of the century.”

The rare meeting of the Palestinian Central Council — a high-ranking arm of the Palestine Liberation Organization — was called after Trump’s December 6 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Since they are not dealing with sane reasoning individuals, I recommend they establish the original borders of their homeland from the scriptures and invite all non Jewish residents to leave. The One State Solution.

If the PLO doesn’t want to play, they don’t get to stay.

This is going to have to be a financial deal. Palis will be paid to leave Gaza for somewhere else, never to return. They can migrate to England or Germany.

LIKE, the media feeds us not only ONE such fake news story...
(the PLO murder gang has never ever recognized Israel,.to begin with...other than as a target in their rifle sights)

but we get fed the same story for a whole week running, over and over again

repeat a lie often enough....and eventually they can get people to believe it

Gobbels would be proud

We all see what Gaza is like; imagine all of Israel like that.

Well, when you want the complete destruction of Israel, does any of this really matter?

“They can migrate to England or Germany.”

At this point, what difference does it make?

OK...you got me...Ive never been to Ramallah, and I only spent a week in Port au Prince in the 70’s......but Ive seen recent pictures of both. You are right though, as they got lazy and Ramallah’s got crazy and lazy.

No. Old Towelhead Arafat promised a meeting where the PLO would discuss amending their charter to allow the recognition of Israel, and as far as I know, all they did was talk; no voting on the matter. Therefore I don’t see the point in “unrecognizing” Israel. It’s like promising to quit smoking when you never started the habit.

When the Israelis got out of the Gaza Strip, they left behind the greenhouses so the Palestinians could grow vegetables and flowers and make some money selling them. Instead, the Palestinians hate the Israelis so much that they destroyed the greenhouses.

Wow they effectively voted for the aid cut just to make this easy for the President So awesome.
and maybe Israel will increase the fees on electricity they provide coinciding with the loss of U.S. aid money?

Brilliant move by people who have deluded themselves into thinking they are in the world’s driver seat.

The UN never deems anything right or just any more unless it favors Muslims. That’s why I say UN=>UM= United Muslims
