Trump Administration Reaffirms: No Reward for Terrorists

In accordance with U.S. law, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is denying and revoking visas from members of the “Palestine Liberation Organization” (PLO) and the ”Palestinian Authority” (PA) ahead of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly.

This also means that banks and other multilateral organisations must carefully consider how and whether they should even forward funds to the PA. A lawsuit could quickly follow, which could hit banks particularly hard. Banks would be well advised to stop conducting transactions for the PA’s benefit.

“The Trump Administration has been clear: it is in our national security interests to hold the PLO and PA accountable for not complying with their commitments, and for undermining the prospects for peace”, said the press release of the US Department of State.

Sec. Rubio is barring “PA” President Abbas & other “PA” officials from entering the US ahead of September’s UNGA, where several states plan to recognise “Palestine.” Visas for all “Palestinian” delegation members will be suspended for at least 180 days. Great.

Before the PLO and PA can be considered partners for peace, they must consistently repudiate terrorism — including the October 7 massacre — and end incitement to terrorism in education, as required by U.S. law and as promised by the PLO.  The PA must also end its attempts to bypass negotiations through international lawfare campaigns, including appeals to the ICC and ICJ, and efforts to secure the unilateral recognition of a conjectural Palestinian state.  Both steps materially contributed to Hamas’s refusal to release its hostages, and to the breakdown of the Gaza ceasefire talks.    

The thugocracy of “PA” and the UN got a massive blow.
