U.S. to Allow PLO D.C. Office to Remain Open with "Limitations"
(The Hill) Max Greenwood - The U.S. will allow the PLO office in Washington to remain open with certain limitations, a State Department spokesperson said Friday. "Given the lapse last week of a waiver of statutory restrictions on PLO activity in the United States, we have advised the PLO Office to limit its activities to those related to achieving a lasting, comprehensive peace between the Israelis and Palestinians." Last week, the Trump administration warned that it would close the PLO's Washington office unless the U.S. determined that the Palestinians had entered into serious peace talks with Israel.
