Report: Zionists Reject U.S. Proposal to Meet With Palestinian Authority
WSAHINGTON (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime rejected the Biden administration’s proposal to host a meeting of Zionist and Palestinian security advisers at the White House, Haaretz reported.
The proposed meeting was to have to focused on economic and security coordination between the occupying regime and the Palestinians and was part of Washington’s efforts to shore up the Palestinian Authority amid the severe economic challenges facing Ramallah and concerns Hamas resistance movement will grow stronger in the West Bank.
U.S. national security advisor Jake Sullivan was set to host the meeting, with the head of the regime’s security council, Eyal Hulata, representing the occupying regime.
The identity of the Palestinian representative had not yet been settled. The heads of the Egyptian and Jordanian intelligence services, Abbas Kamel and Ahmad Husni, were also meant to attend.
According to Walla News, which first reported the meeting, the idea of holding it at the level of national security advisers rather than more senior officials was meant to enable Zionist prime minister Naftali Bennett to claim that it wasn’t a diplomatic meeting.
Since taking office Bennett has refused to engage in talks with the Palestinians or meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. In his speech to the UN General Assembly last September, he did not mention the Zionist-Palestinian conflict.
The occupying regime’s decision to forgo such a meeting comes amid heightened tensions in the occupied territories.
