Palestinians warn they will freeze ties if US shuts PLO office in Washington DC

Palestine Liberation Organisation has warned that it will freeze its ties with the US if it carries out a threat to close the PLO office in Washington DC. In a video on Twitter, PLO Secretary General Saeb Erekat called the move "unacceptable". 

The US government has notified Palestinians that it plans to close the office of the Palestine Liberation Organization in Washington. The move announced on Friday, is expected to put more pressure on the Palestine authority to negotiate as President Donald Trump has shown strong willingness to advance the Middle East peace process.
