US upgrades ties with Palestinians as diplomatic mission renamed
The Guardian
|June 10, 2022
The US diplomatic mission to the Palestinians in Jerusalem has been redesignated and will report directly to Washington “on substantive matters” , signalling an upgrade in ties in advance of a planned visit by President Joe Biden.
-
What was formerly called the Palestinian affairs unit (PAU) was renamed the US Office of Palestinian Affairs (OPA) under the move. Before becoming the PAU, it had been the US consulate in Jerusalem and a focus of Palestinian statehood goals in the city.
Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, outraged Palestinians – and delighted many Israelis – by formally closing the consulate and redesignating it as the PAU within the US embassy , which was moved to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv in 2018.
