RAMALLAH, West Bank - A veteran Palestinian negotiator said on Monday she had been denied a U.S. travel visa for the first time, and viewed it as retaliation for her criticism of the Trump administration and Israel.
"It is official! My US visa application has been rejected. No reason given," Ashrawi said on Twitter. She is a member of the executive committee of the umbrella Palestine Liberation Organisation and took part in interim peace talks with Israel dating back decades. Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said last week that the United States seems to be crafting a plan for a Palestinian surrender to Israel instead of a peace deal.
Speaking to Reuters, Ashrawi said she had applied for a B-1/B-2 visa, which is for either business or tourism travel to the United States. She described the rejection as a first for her.
