RAMALLAH, Sept 10, 2018 (MENA) - The Palestinian government condemned on Monday the US decision to close the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) office in Washington, saying it is a declaration of war against peacemaking efforts in both the Palestinian territories and the entire region. The decision gives a green light to Israel to go ahead with its bloody crimes against the Palestinians and its settlement policies, spokesman for the government Youssef Mahmoud said as quoted by WAFA news agency. He expressed regret over the Trump administration's decision, saying such polices will never force the Palestinians to kneel down but on the contrary will create more tension in the region. Reports said US National Security Adviser John Bolton is expected to announce the decision of closing the PLO office in Washington in the coming hours.
