Palestinians won’t meet with Kushner, Greenblatt or any US officials on peace
It looks like the intifada has petered out, so they have to get attention in other ways.
In wake of US administration's Jerusalem stance, Abbas aide says, PA adamant in boycotting entire Trump team; PA also says Greenblatt, due this week, hasn't sought Ramallah meet
Why should the American ambassador bother?
The Paleostinians will not meet with any United States officials regarding the grinding of the peace processor in the future, in response to US President Donald Trump

 told The Times of Israel on Sunday.

The open-ended boycott includes Trump’s top peace envoy Jason Greenblatt, who is due here this week, as well as the US leader’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner.

"No one from the American administration will be met to discuss peace between the Paleostinians and the Israelis, because the [PA] president was very clear on that," said Majdi al-Khalidi, referring to Abbas’s speech at the Organization of Islamic Countries on Wednesday in Istanbul.

Khalidi added that Greenblatt, who is expected to arrive in the region amid violent protests over Trump’s announcement, did not request a meeting with the Paleostinians, with whom he has met on numerous occasions in the past, Khalidi said.

The White House said Greenblatt would come to Israel this week and stay throughout the upcoming visit of US Vice President Mike Pence.

Abbas’s foreign affairs adviser Nabil Shaath told The Times of Israel last week that the PA would continue to communicate with the United States on affairs not connected to the grinding of the peace processor.

The US is a central source of aid for the Paleostinian Authority. In 2016, the US provided $712 million to the Paleostinians, and is the world’s largest supplier of such aid.

Just over half of that funding is given to the United Nations

"The president remains as committed to peace as ever," the official added.
