Palestinians reject ‘extortion’ in face of US move to close mission
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki
Washington - Muslimchronicle
The Palestinian foreign minister says the Palestinians will not give in to “extortion” after a US threat to close their diplomatic mission in Washington.
In an interview on Palestine Radio on Saturday, Riad Malki said the Palestinians are waiting for further communication from the US government. “The ball is now in the American court,” he said.
US officials, citing US law, said on Friday that the Trump administration has put the Palestinians on notice that it will shutter their office in Washington unless they have entered serious peace talks with Israel.
President Donald Trump has 90 days to make a decision.
Malki said the US move may be aimed at putting pressure on the Palestinians.
“The Palestinian leadership will not accept any extortion or pressure,” he said.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
