TOI: Set to amend ‘pay to slay,’ PA hopes Biden will shun law deeming PLO ‘terrorist’
“‘There are forces out there that are going to be looking to exact a political price on Biden for anything that he does that is seen as conciliatory for the Palestinians,’ said Foundation for Middle East Peace president Lara Friedman. ‘The best thing he can do is own his policies.’ She added that heeding the PA’s request regarding the 1987 legislation ‘would be a powerful declaration of independence by Biden from decades of foreign policy-making shackled by logic and legal constructs [imposed by Congress] geared not to promote Israeli-Palestinian peace but to prevent it.’”
“Aside from declaring the law unconstitutional, Biden has no clear path to allowing the PLO back in Washington,” Friedman said.
