Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Palestine Liberation Organization’s envoy to the US says Trump’s decision to uphold longstanding American policy by waiving the law requiring its embassy in Israel be moved to Jerusalem, will lay the groundwork for peace.
“This is in line with the long held US policy and the international consensus and it gives peace a chance,” Dr. Husam Zomlot says in a statement.
“We are ready to to start the consultation process with the US administration. We are serious and genuine about achieving a just and lasting peace,” he adds.
