U.S. Weighs Boosting Ties with PA as It Seeks to Advance Gaza Plan
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - The U.S. is in talks with the Palestinian Authority about boosting their strained bilateral relationship, three government officials said. President Trump's administration is working to transfer PA revenues currently withheld by Israel to the Board of Peace, which Washington established to rebuild Gaza. The U.S. is seeking a Palestinian commitment to halt efforts to internationalize the conflict against Israel and to withdraw cases against Jerusalem in international legal forums, an American official said. At the same time, the U.S. official did not deny the lack of enthusiasm in the administration for elevating ties with the Palestinians, as focus and political capital are being spent elsewhere in the region.
