"President Donald Trump’s administration slapped sanctions on the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) for seeking statehood outside of a formal agreement with Israel, per U.S. law.
However, the Palestinian Authority has repeatedly broken its agreements by trying to isolate Israel through international institutions, and by seeking unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood through those same institutions.
This week and last week, France, the United Kingdom, and Canada all announced plans to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September in New York City.
President Trump has called that recognition a “reward for terror,” and has threatened to retaliate by punishing Canada in trade negotiations. Now, his administration is sanctioning the Palestinians as well."
