The chairman of the Shas faction in the Knesset and a member of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, MK Yoav Ben Tzur, praised the American administration's decision to close the PLO's delegation office in Washington DC.

Ben Tzur was quoted as saying:

"I welcome the important move, the American administration led by President Trump continues to expose the real face of the PLO and other dangerous organizations and makes it clear to them that US soil will not be a no-mans-land for the development of additional terrorist infrastructure."
