TPS Exclusive: Reason for Ron Lauder’s visit to Palestinian Authority revealed
A senior source in the Palestinian Authority (PA) has told TPS that Ron Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, visited Ramallah arrived after it became clear to the Trump Administration that there are contacts between Abu Mazen and Joe Biden and even preparations for the establishment of real communication channels, through businessmen.
Contacts also exist with Evangelical Christians and with representatives of the Republican Party, but so far without any real success.
The source also told TPS that the meeting between Lauder and Abu Mazen dealt with the need to resolve the tax crisis in light of the poor situation in the PA and was also held with the intention of the US administration to take ownership of resolving the serious crisis in the PA and renewing coordination channels between Israel and the US. The PA is still waiting for the election results and at the moment there is no shift in the direction – said the source.
