US sanctions Palestinian Authority for taking Israel to world courts
    Bangla Press Desk: The administration of United States President Donald Trump has announced sanctions against members of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), accusing them of attempting to “internationalise Palestine's conflict with Israel” through world courts. On Thursday, the US State Department also vainly attempted to justify the sanctions by claiming, without evidence, that PA and PLO “support terrorism.” Thursday’s announcement would deny visas to members of either organisation. “It is in our national security interests to impose consequences and hold the PLO and PA accountable for not complying with their commitments and undermining the prospects for peace,” the announcement read.
Both the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization serve as representatives for the Palestinian people, pushing for the recognition of a Palestinian state on the international stage. But the State Department said it reported to Congress that the groups had violated international agreements, including the Middle East Peace Commitments Act of 2002. Specifically, the State Department denounced the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization for seeking to “internationalize its conflict with Israel” by seeking relief at the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice. It also accused the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization of “continuing to support terrorism including incitement and glorification of violence” and “providing payments and benefits in support of terrorism to Palestinian terrorists and their families”.
By way of example, the State Department cited textbooks as a means that these groups have allegedly supported terrorism. This article was originally published on Daily Sun.
