A senior Palestinian official says the Palestinians will not meet with Vice President Mike Pence during his upcoming visit to the region because of the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The official, Jibril Rajoub, said Thursday "we will not receive him in the Palestinian territories." Rajoub also calls for Arab officials not to meet with Pence.
Pence is expected to visit the region later this month. He is set to travel to Israel and to the West Bank city of Bethlehem. It was not clear what Rajoub's remarks meant for the West Bank portion of Pence's trip.
Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and to advance plans to move the U.S. Embassy to the contested city has sparked outrage across the region.

Outraged is the opposite of enraged, which is what they were last year. Every year they switch.
Wow. I am positive the VP won’t sleep tonight. /s
According to The Hill we give the Palestinians have a billion per year. By by
“Palestinians say they won’t meet with Pence”
Of what significance is a party to supposed peace talks that refuses to even recognize the other party’s very right to exist? The can be no negotiation when one side’s unalterable position is that the other side needs to die, and by a deadline.
PHUCK the Paleoswinians!!!! No one needs them or wants them. They want to be relevant, and maybe even get something from Israel, then they need to start acting in a civilized manner, and to be willing to give things up FROM THE FIRST MINUTE OF NEGOTIATIONS. If they cannot do that, then there is no point and...well...PHUCK THEM!!!
Then talks will go on without them!
Winning
P LameOs are at it again.
So what?
Too bad. Maybe we should cut all aid to the PA while we’re at it.
Glad they’re not meeting. Waste of time.
I doubt they'll stop Pence from going. They just aren't interested in meeting with him.
I think VP Pence would have been safe enough with the TERRORIST big wigs.
I am sure you have noticed, they NEVER BLOW THEMSELVES UP, that kind of activity is reserved for the little terrorist people.
oh well...
Trump finally called the ultimate bluff - that there was ever a path to peace between them and Israel...now if they do what comes natural, they will also end up attacking Americans on American soil (Embassy/Consulate) in Israel/Jerusalem and the sting they receive will be much worse....
