The Trump administration plans to announce on Monday that it is shutting down the Palestine Liberation Organization’s office in Washington, D.C., another sign of U.S. support for Israel and a move that furthers a pressure crusade against Palestine, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday morning.


“The United States will always stand with our friend and ally, Israel,” national security adviser John Bolton is expected to say in a speech on Monday, according to a transcript of the prepared remarks obtained by WSJ. “The Trump administration will not keep the office open when the Palestinians refuse to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel.”

Guess that even though all enemies of The United States are created equal,
some, like NK and Russia, are more equal than others...
