Palestinian Intel Chief Held Rare Meeting With Mike Pompeo in Washington

Majid Faraj – considered one of the people closest to Palestinian President Abbas – met with Pompeo last month and has a close relationship with the new secretary of state

A rare meeting between American and Palestinian officials took place last month in Washington when Mike Pompeo, the recently appointed U.S. secretary of state, sat down with Majid Faraj, the head of the Palestinian Authority's security and intelligence services.

The meeting took place shortly before Pompeo was sworn in, while he was still the head of the CIA. It was the most high-ranking meeting between Palestinian and American representatives in months, ever since the PA decided to boycott the Trump administration over the U.S. president’s Jerusalem speech.

A Palestinian official told Haaretz that the meeting was held between "official security ranks," emphasizing that it took place before Pompeo took on a political and diplomatic role at the U.S. State Department. The same official said that despite the Palestinian boycott of the Trump administration, security talks between the two sides continue to take place and focus on a wide-range of regional issues – not just a potential future Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

The Trump administration is expected to unveil its plan for reaching an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement at the end of June. It is likely that Washington will try to synchronize presenting “the ultimate deal,” as U.S. President Donald Trump calls it, with presenting a plan for a cease-fire in Gaza.

Faraj’s talk with Pompeo, according to Palestinian officials, touched among other things on a meeting of the Palestinian National Council that took place in Ramallah a few days after Faraj visited Washington.

Faraj is considered one of the people closest to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. His meeting with Pompeo is part of a close relationship between the two intelligence chiefs

I hope that Pompeo jumped into a mikvah (Jewish ritual bath) to purify himself after meeting with this subhuman.

If he’d just pull out his pistol and dispatch the islamonazi POS, it could vastly improve the world. Lead by example. Eliminate the Muslim threat before they finish invading ( and terrorist bombing😭conquering from within) western nations
