WASHINGTON—The Trump administration is expected to announce Monday
that it will close the Palestine Liberation Organization’s office in
Washington, administration officials said Sunday night, widening a U.S.
campaign of pressure amid stalled Middle East peace efforts.
“The United States will always stand with our friend and ally,
Israel,” national security adviser John Bolton is planned to say in
prepared remarks he is scheduled to deliver Monday, according a draft
reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
“The Trump administration will not keep the office open when
the Palestinians refuse to take steps to start direct and meaningful
negotiations with Israel,” he is planned to add.
Senior Palestinian officials strongly condemned the Trump administration decision and described it as a “reckless escalation.”
Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian representative to Washington,
said in an interview that the State Department informed the Palestine
Liberation Organization of the U.S. decision to shutter its Washington
office in a move that he said is part of the Trump administration’s
efforts to begin enacting its so-called “deal of the century.”
“We don’t think this is just about bullying...we believe this
is about the implementing of Israel’s grocery list, they are
implementing it rather than pressuring us,” Mr. Zomlot said in a
interview on Monday, adding that relations between the Palestinians and
Washington “are a historic low.”
