Does a subalgebra of a Lie algebra $g$ define a Lie subalgebra in the dual $g^*$ if $( g, g^*)$ is a Lie bialgebra?

Question: Let $\mathfrak d = \mathfrak g\bowtie \mathfrak g^*$ be the double of the Lie bialgebra $(\mathfrak g, \mathfrak g^*)$, and let $\mathfrak h$ be a Lie subalgebra of $\mathfrak g$. If $\xi,\eta\in\mathfrak g^*$ such that

$$ \xi(x)=\eta(x)=0, \quad \forall x\in \mathfrak h $$

then is it possible to prove that $([\xi,\eta]_{\mathfrak g^*})(x)=0,\,\forall x\in\mathfrak h$ as well?

This seems to be an important part in proving Theorem 1.1 in V.G. Drinfeld's article "On Poisson homogeneous spaces of Poisson-Lie groups", but I'm having trouble reproducing it. The article itself says "The proof of Theorem 1 is simple and more or less straightforward", so does anyone agree with the author?
