President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have been named as defendants in a new lawsuit in which they are accused of sending billions of dollars to the Palestinian Authority that were allegedly used in a “pay for slay” program that cost the lives of many Israeli and United States citizens.
The lawsuit was brought by the America First Legal Foundation filed on Tuesday and alleged that some of the funds sent to the PA were used for the PA Martyrs Fund, known to some as ‘Pay to Slay,’ The Daily Caller reported. In 2017, Congress passed the Taylor Force Act which was supposed to prevent funding the PA but the government has continued not to send billions in aid.
“[T]he defendants took power on January 20, 2021, with a new plan: Transfer hundreds of millions of dollars from U.S. taxpayers to the Palestinian Authority despite Pay to Slay and contrary to the Taylor Force Act,” the lawsuit said. “Contrary to law, they have transferred nearly half a billion American taxpayer dollars to directly benefit and subsidize the Palestinian Authority.”
“In 2016, 28-year-old U.S. Army Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran Taylor Force was murdered by Palestinian terrorists while visiting Israel as part of his graduate program at West Point. Force’s parents, Stuart and Robbie Force worked with former President Donald Trump and Congress to pass the Taylor Force Act in 2017, which prohibited the U.S. government from providing any type of funding to the PA unless they ended the ‘Pay to Slay’ policy,” the report said.
