Members of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team have been in contact with high-ranking officials within the Palestinian Authority regarding peace negotiations between the PA and Israel.

Asked why the Palestinian Authority would object to the US moving its capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the Palestinian official insisted that if the US is going to move its capital to Jerusalem then it should also establish an embassy for Palestine in East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians consider their territory.

The Trump official replied, “there is no Palestine, and Jerusalem is not your capital,” adding that if the Palestinians halted their campaign of terror against Israel then the Trump Administration would “consider” placing a diplomatic mission in Ramallah at some point.

Trump’s team is reportedly in contact with the Palestinians but has set a new tone regarding negotiations with Israel, according to WIN.
