Closure of the PLO Office in Washington
US State Department ^ | 9-10-18 | Heather Nauert

Posted on 09/10/2018 11:01:19 AM PDT by tcrlaf

The Administration has determined after careful review that the office of the General Delegation of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Washington should close. We have permitted the PLO office to conduct operations that support the objective of achieving a lasting, comprehensive peace between Israelis and the Palestinians since the expiration of a previous waiver in November 2017. However, the PLO has not taken steps to advance the start of direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel. To the contrary, PLO leadership has condemned a U.S. peace plan they have not yet seen and refused to engage with the U.S. government with respect to peace efforts and otherwise. As such, and reflecting Congressional concerns, the Administration has decided that the PLO office in Washington will close at this point. This decision is also consistent with Administration and Congressional concerns with Palestinian attempts to prompt an investigation of Israel by the International Criminal Court.

The United States continues to believe that direct negotiations between the two parties are the only way forward. This action should not be exploited by those who seek to act as spoilers to distract from the imperative of reaching a peace agreement. We are not retreating from our efforts to achieve a lasting and comprehensive peace.

Yippee! More MAGA! It has been a sickening travesty and (gross!) insult for years to all morally- decent Americans — to have let those fakestinian terrorist monsters and mass- murderers into USA. Thank Gawd we’re finally getting rid of them! MAGA MAGA !! Mucho MAGA! Praise the Lord!
