No more unconditional aid to corrupt, terrorism-enabling Palestinian leadership.
The Trump administration will not continue subsidizing the so-called “moderate,” “non-violent” Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership clique in the vain hope that throwing more good money after bad will help bring about real peace or provide genuine help for the Palestinian people. This clique is made up of lying hypocrites, who fund and glorify terrorists while corruptly diverting aid money and donations to their own personal benefit.
Last Friday, a State Department official announced to reporters that it would redirect U.S. financial assistance of more than $200 million originally intended for the Palestinian Authority and projects in the West Bank and Gaza. This cut in bilateral aid is on top of the previously announced cut of nearly $300 million in U.S. financial support for the discredited UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) denounced the Trump administration’s latest funding cut decision. "The rights of the Palestinian people are not for sale," PLO Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi said in a statement. "There is no glory in constantly bullying and punishing a people under occupation” through what she characterized as “economic meanness.”

Awesome! about time
It's not our responsibility. Period.
The operative word is "unconditional". Shoveling aid to a country/area without any expectation of how the money is used is foolishness that cannot be continued.
It was another waste of tax payers money. Let's just get out of that quagmire - they have been at each other's throats since the dawn of time.
That funding should have been cut years ago. I stand with Israel. The Pals are nothing but terrorists. The more they are given the more they want. They will not be happy until Israel is under Pal occupation once more. Let Israel do what Israel needs to do to protect Israel. Support and stand behind Israel.
