Palestinians applaud renewal of ties with US
|
 Yeay! Boodle! Influence! Terrorist acts!
[JPost] A senior Palestinian official in Ramallah told The Jerusalem Post that the Palestinians were "deeply satisfied" by the US official’s announcement.
Palestinian officials on Wednesday welcomed the decision by US President Joe Biden’s administration to renew relations with the Palestinians as a "positive step in the right direction."
The officials said that they were not surprised by the decision as the Palestinian Authority had received "assurances" before the last US presidential election that Biden, if elected, would reverse some of the decisions pertaining to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that were taken by former president Donald Trump’s administration.
The Palestinians boycotted the Trump administration after its decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in December 2017.
The officials expressed hope that the Biden administration would fully endorse PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s plan for convening an international conference for peace in the Middle East and pressure Israel to comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 and halt settlement construction.
Adopted in 2016, the resolution condemns the construction and expansion of settlements and calls for a freeze of all settlement activity, including "natural growth," and the dismantlement of all settlement outposts erected since March 2001.
