Palestinians weigh pushback over US penalties

The Palestinian leadership is weighing retaliatory measures against US penalties, including halting security cooperation, a senior Palestinian official said Wednesday. "It's among possible steps we are thinking about," Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organisation's executive committee, told journalists in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Ashrawi was responding to a question about the possibility of a complete break with Washington, including security ties.
