West Palm beach, FL – The White House said on Sunday it was “unfortunate” that Palestinians were declining to meet with Vice President Mike Pence during an upcoming trip to the region in the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

“It’s unfortunate that the Palestinian Authority is walking away again from an opportunity to discuss the future of the region, but the administration remains undeterred in its efforts to help achieve peace between Israelis and Palestinians and our peace team remains hard at work putting together a plan,” said Jarrod Agen, a deputy chief of staff and spokesman for Pence.
As Abba Eban famously quipped, “The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity”.
The real audacity is, the United States gives the Palestinian Authority more money than any other country contributes. They refuse to meet the Vice President? We should flat out cut them off financially.
