The news is confirmed by Palestinian officials. The OCP is the internationally recognised representative of the Palestinian people and has opened its office in the American capital in 1994.
Its secretary-general, Saeb Erekas, already named the latest movement a dangerous escalation. President Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, is expected to make the decision public, citing Palestinian efforts to convince the international criminal court to investigate alleged Israeli crimes and their refusal to resume peace talks.
Trump himself is preparing to discover a long-awaited peace plan for the Middle East, but Palestinian officials have refused to negotiate with his envoys since he recognised Jerusalem as Israeli capital in December.
Bolton's expected speech, which will mark even the most significant that when he has joined the White House, will focus on criticism of the international criminal court in The Hague, and will even hold international media and sanctions threats against its judges if investigations against alleged war crimes committed by Americans in Afghanistan continue. And the decision to close the Palestinian mission comes under American support for Israel.
