Palestinians recommit to two-states, no confirmation on Trump meetings

A Palestinian delegation met with State Department officials on Monday in Washington for a routine US-Palestinian political dialogue, this year focusing primarily on the issues of peace negotiations with Israel, trade and investment in the Palestinian territories and the threat posed to the region by Islamic State.

According to a readout from the State Department, PLO delegation members “reiterated their commitment to a negotiated two-state outcome” with Israel, “which is the only way to achieve an enduring peace that meets Israeli and Palestinian security needs and Palestinian aspirations for statehood and sovereignty, end the occupation that began in 1967 and resolve all permanent status issues.”
