RAMALLAH, West Bank - A veteran Palestinian negotiator said on Monday she had been denied a U.S. travel visa for the first time, and viewed it as retaliation for her criticism of the Trump administration and Israel.
Since they boycotted the Trump administration over its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in late 2017, the Palestinians have seen cuts to U.S. funding that have contributed to economic distress in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The rancor between the United States and the Palestinians has deepened as Washington prepares to unveil a long-awaited plan for restarting peacemaking, possibly next month.
In February, Greenblatt tweeted that Ashrawi was “always welcome” to meet him at the White House. A month later, after Ashrawi condemned Israeli military strikes in Hamas-ruled Gaza, he tweeted to her: “Stop hurting Palestinians w/bad judgment”.
U.S. disgustingly taking more and more queues from Israel. Sad sad times......
A visa is applied for hence the possibility of rejection is always there.
Trump you Zionist pig!
Too bad, cookie. Perhaps if you weren’t a lifelong member of the PLO and supporter of Hamas it would turn out better for you.
How about that, I wonder why?

China will not flinch in the face of U.S. pressure, top negotiator says after talksBut Liu He tried to strike a constructive note, saying the hardest part of a marathon was the last stretch Right, it’s risky for Trump but China has more to lose. They’ll blink. China is already nationalist. Trump is pressuring USA to be immigrant-fearing nationalist too😓 American consumers will pay for it at the store. Then when the tariffs go down (under a real President) the prices at the store will NOT drop in price, hence creating more income for the ultra rich...who will then insist that paying workers above slave labor prices will bankrupt
