Palestinians Force U.S. Officials to Cancel West Bank Visit
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Palestinians boasted on Thursday that they forced the U.S. consulate-general in Jerusalem to cancel a visit by a U.S. delegation to the Palestinian Securities Exchange offices in Nablus and the nearby town of Sebastiya in the West Bank. The ruling Fatah faction said, "Receiving any representative of the U.S. administration is rejected and is a deviation from the national will." Fatah also warned that it would take "legal and popular action" against any Palestinian institution that defies the boycott of U.S. officials.
