President Trump Cuts Economic Aid To The Palestinian Authority By $200 Million
« on: August 27, 2018, 06:52:27 pm »
More than $200 million in economic aid will be withheld from the Hamas-Palestinian Authority unitary government and redirected elsewhere.

On Friday, a State Department spokesperson said the administration wanted “to ensure these funds are spent in accordance with U.S. national interests.” The State Department spokesman went on to say the decision to “redirect” funds to different “high-priority projects” was a result of a review conducted beginning in June in light of the Taylor Force Act.

The Palestinian Authority has long given stipends to the families of dead terrorists who carried out successful terror attacks against Jews, and they’ve used aid from U.S.-taxpayers in order to pay these stipends. The Taylor Force Act’s purpose is to pressure the Palestinian Authority to end this disgusting practice, or risk losing more aid.

The administration also suspended $65 million in aid from UNRWA in January.

Let's give credit where it's due... this is from legislation that was pushed by Lindsey Graham (and Coats and Blunt).

Our Congressmen and Senators (including many Democrats) passed it.  Trump signed it.  And Trump is implementing it.

This is how it should be done, and I applaud them all.

Great.  Now let's get rid of all aid to the Palis.

I agree with you, however, when Congress doesn't do their job, President Trump gets blamed!

Ending all foreign aid would resolve about 5% of the trillion dollar budget deficit.  It's hard to justify the borrowing of money to bribe despots.  Fast forward to the debt crisis ... I'll bet you this is first on the chopping block.
