Palestinians Preparing List of Demands for Biden
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Palestinian officials said on Sunday that the Palestinian Authority has prepared a list of demands that will be presented to President-elect Joe Biden after he is sworn in on Jan. 20. The list includes rescinding President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The Palestinians will also demand to cancel the recent decision that allows U.S. citizens born in Jerusalem to list Israel as their place of birth, as well as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's announcement allowing for settlement products to be labeled as "Made in Israel." The PA, which has been boycotting the Trump administration since December 2017, will resume its contacts with Washington after Biden assumes office, the officials said.
