The Trump administration's decision to shut down the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) office in Washington, DC, is "denying the Palestinians as people" and further jeopardises the peace process, analysts warn.

Palestinian officials have described the decision as a "declaration of wa r on efforts to bring peace ... to the region".

White House National Security Advisor John Bolton announced the administration's decision in a speech on Monday, saying the PLO had "not taken steps to advance the start of direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel".
