The Trump Administration is reportedly considering closing the Palestine Liberation Organization’s headquarters in Washington DC if the Palestinian leadership continues to refuse to return to negotiations with Israel,

The Hadashot news report comes hours after Trump said the US would no longer transfer monetary aid to the Palestinians unless they entered peace negotiations with Israel, and excoriated the Palestinian leadership’s reaction to his decision last month to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
