For decades, the terrorist Palestine Liberation Organization had an office in Washington D.C. Not really all that surprising as Democrats value the lives of Palestinian terrorists higher than those of Israelis and Jewish people. But now, that office is closing, and you can thank Trump for it. Leftists, who love the terrorist Palestinians will likely have a ham over it.

The Trump administration has informed the Palestinian government that its primary office in Washington D.C. will be closed, deepening a rift with the Palestinians and drawing cries of a “dangerous escalation” from their leadership. The move, which U.S. officials were yet to confirm on Monday morning, comes after the White House said over the weekend that it was cutting $25 million in funding for health services in heavily-Palestinian East Jerusalem.
Senior Palestinian diplomat Dr. Saeb Erekat confirmed in a statement released Monday that the U.S. government had informed the Palestinian Authority that the office of the Palestine Liberation Organization, effectively the Palestinian parliament, would be shuttered.
“We have been notified by a US official of their decision to close the Palestinian Mission to the US. This is yet another affirmation of the Trump Administration’s policy to collectively punish the Palestinian people, including by cutting financial support for humanitarian services including health and education,” Erekat said in the statement.
Closing the PLO office in D.C. will leave the Palestinians without a formal presence in the U.S. capital. Erekat said the “dangerous escalation shows that the US is willing to disband the international system in order to protect Israeli crimes and attacks against the land and people of Palestine as well as against peace and security in the rest of our region.”
