ON November 18, just days before the 50th anniversary of United Nations Resolution 242, the US State Department took its first step towards severing ties with the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO).
The timing of this decision could not be any more profound.
The first formal contact between the US and the PLO occurred in mid-December 1988, when US ambassador to Tunisia Robert H Pelletreau Jr picked up the phone to call the PLO headquarters in Tunis to schedule formal talks.
