During this Shultz reopened the communication between the U.S and Palestinian Government. During the Persian Gulf War the relation between United States and the Palestine Liberation Organization were not good because the chairman of PLO Yasser Arafat supported the Iraq’s attack of Kuwait and its threat to attack on Israel.
