In this interview with Al Jazeera English, Jadaliyya Co-Editor Mouin Rabbani discusses the US decision to order the closure of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) mission in Washington, DC. Rabbani places this move in the broader context of the Trump administration's adoption of an agenda towards the Palestinians that is extremist even by comparison with that of its predecessors, as well as the broader assault by Washington on international mechanisms designed to hold states accountable for war crimes and other illegal conduct.
