Trump Taking Major Action Against Palestine Liberation Organization’s Washington Office. Take a Look at What He’s Doing.

President Trump is ordering the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to close down it’s Washington, D.C., office as a means of applying more pressure to Palestinian leadership in light of peace talks that have broken down.

This is a spectacular move by Trump, as this organization has not had any pressure applied to them in a very long, long time.

“We have permitted the PLO office to conduct operations that support the objective of achieving a lasting, comprehensive peace between Israelis and the Palestinians since the expiration of a previous waiver in November 2017,” the State Department said in a statement. “However, the PLO has not taken steps to advance the start of direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel.”

“To the contrary, PLO leadership has condemned a U.S. peace plan they have not yet seen and refused to engage with the U.S. government with respect to peace efforts and otherwise,” the statement continued. “As such, and reflecting Congressional concerns, the Administration has decided that the PLO office in Washington will close at this point.”

National Security Advisor John Bolton is expected to talk about the closure in a speech to the conservative Federalist Society on Monday.

“The Trump administration will not keep the office open when the Palestinians refuse to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel,” Bolton is expected to say, according to a draft copy of his prepared remarks reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

“The United States will always stand with our friend and ally, Israel,” Bolton will add.

This is a refreshing stance to see the White House take after eight years of President Obama’s raging anti-Israeli nonsense. The years he was in office resulted in a strained relationship with our most important ally in the Middle East, which Trump has fortunately repaired in just his few short months in office.

With the threat of radical Islamic terrorism still looming over our heads, it’s critical to have allies in the area we can trust, and thus far, Israel has proven time and again to be our greatest friend. Hopefully that mindset will continue long after Trump has left the office.

You can tell a lot about a White House by the extracurricular nonsense that hits the press surrounding it.

For instance, after one of President Joe Biden’s dogs began biting random people on the grounds, we started hearing murmurs of just how terse and stressful the place had become, with dog behavior experts suggesting that the mood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might have a lot to do with the aggression.

This week, the Biden administration beget more bad behavior, but this time it wasn’t from one of the First Pets.

Two U.S. Secret Service agents in South Korea were sent stateside ahead of President Biden’s arrival following their involvement in an off-duty alcohol-related incident.

The two agents, whose identities have not been made public, are on their way back to Washington, D.C. where they will face disciplinary action, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News.

Both agents apparently became intoxicated while not on duty. One of the agents then got into an altercation with a cab driver.

There could be more trouble coming, as well.

In South Korea, officials send mediators to the scene of low-level disputes and then determine if criminal charges would be filed.

One of the agents was interviewed by authorities and no charges have been filed.

The government released one of its usual, dry, boilerplate-esque missives.

“The Secret Service is aware of an off-duty incident involving two employees which may constitute potential policy violations,” USSS chief spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News. “We have very strict protocols and policies for all employees and we hold ourselves to the highest professional standards.”

There is a history of poor behavior from the Secret Service during Democratic administrations, with a notable incident having occurred in 2012, involving Barack Obama’s agents and a Colombian prostitute.
