REPORT: Biden Quietly Hands Over At Least $60 Million To Palestinians

The Biden Administration silently gave Palestine millions in financial aid, reversing Trump-era policies, according to the Associated Press (AP).

The administration announced on March 25 they would give $15 million to Palestinian communities in the West Bank and Gaza for pandemic purposes, according to ABC News.

The administration then alerted Congress on Friday that it would give Palestinians $75 million for economic support to be used to restore their “trust and goodwill” after Trump cut aid, according to the AP.

“Given the absence of USAID activity in recent years, engaging civil society actors will be critical to regaining trust and goodwill with Palestinian society,” the notification sent to Congress said, according to the AP.

It’s unclear whether the $75 million included the $15 million in pandemic aid, according to the report.

I wonder what % of American Jews voted for Biden. It's usually a pretty high percentage that vote for the Rats.

Why doesn't he make it easier for the Arab Palis and send the $$ to them in the form of 2x4s, 4x4s, and cement? Because it'll go into tunnel-building supplies and similar sundries anyway.

USAID Failed to Ensure Palestinian Aid Dollars Kept from Terrorists, GAO Says

The United States Agency for International Development is downplaying the significance of a recent government oversight report highlighting the agency’s failure to ensure that taxpayer aid dollars sent to the Palestinian government did not ultimately make their way to terrorists.

The Government Accountability Office, a federal watchdog group, recently cited USAID over its failure to certify from 2015 to 2019 that taxpayer funds did not benefit organizations tied to terrorism. While the agency did check its primary grantees for terrorism ties, it "did not consistently ensure" that awards these entities made to others, known as subawards, were compliant with "antiterrorism requirements," according to the GAO’s findings.

The disclosure comes amid a larger debate about the Biden administration’s decision to restart aid to the Palestinian government. The State Department announced last week that it is giving $15 million to the Palestinians to help combat the coronavirus pandemic. A Wednesday Associated Press report claims the administration quietly approved another $75 million in aid already set to be disbursed by USAID.

The Rodents ship tax dollars to their friends in Islam because the terrorists perform necessary anti-American murders the Rodents can't be caught doing directly.

They don't disagree with the terrorists.
