A Palestinian Authority source welcomed Saturday the “step-by-step” policy taken by US President Joe Biden’s administration to restore relations with it.
Political and security contacts have resumed since Biden took office, he told Asharq Al-Awsat, adding that relations are expanding and slowly progressing.
Both parties aim to resume diplomatic ties that were cut under former US President Donald Trump administration, the source noted.
Palestinians have demanded holding an international peace conference, reopening of the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s (PLO) office in Washington, renewing US financial aid to the PA and the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and revoking the US designation of the PLO as a “terrorist organization,” the source explained.
