Trump's Envoy Visits an Anxious Ramallah
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Pinhas Inbari - President Trump's special envoy, Jason Greenblatt, met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday to sound him out on restarting peace negotiations. His visit comes amidst growing uncertainty about the very future of the Palestinian Authority. In recent weeks, violent demonstrations have taken place in the PA by secular leftist activists, the pro-Iranian Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and Fatah's Tanzim military wing. One Palestinian source said, "There are enough weapons in the refugee camps to storm the Muqata'a and topple the Palestinian Authority. It is only a matter of a decision."
