First Washington, now  London — kick the PLO out

In finally recognising the refusal of the PLO leadership to take steps to advance the start of direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel, the US government, reflecting congressional concerns, has ordered the closure of the PLO office in Washington DC.

Meanwhile, the US has emphasised that it continues to believe that direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians are the only way forward and will continue in its efforts to achieve a lasting and comprehensive peace.

The PLO Mission to the UK, represented by Manuel Hassassian, similarly supports no effort towards such peace talks.

HM Government should now consider a likewise closure of the PLO London office.
