The Trump administration on Friday announced that it would sanction Palestinian Authority leaders until they change course on the promotion of terrorism.

State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott accused the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization of promoting terrorism, “undermining the prospects for peace,” and engaging in “lawfare.” In response, he said the State Department would be denying and revoking the visas of PA and PLO leadership members, though he didn’t specify who exactly.
