Biden* Administration Sending $125M to Palestinians and another $250M
Quote:Signaling a reversal of Trump administration policy on Israel, the Biden administration plans to give the Palestinians $125 million.

The money was appropriated in the 2020 budget during the last year of President Donald Trump's presidency, but his administration broke off diplomatic ties with the Palestinian Authority in 2018 and blocked nearly all aid to Israel's chief border rival.

Congress was notified of the $125 million payout by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department, a source told The Hill.

Planned payments to the Palestinians include:

$75 million to enrich the Palestinian economy.
$10 million for "cross-border, people-to-people reconciliation activities."
$40 million from the 2016 and 2017 budget for security, including International Narcotics Control and law enforcement in the West Bank.
$15 million to address the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump sought to stop sending Americans' taxpayer dollars to support other countries before our own in his America First agenda, while President Joe Biden has vowed to restore the globalist support.

Funding the Palestinians "is consistent with our values," according to Biden State Department spokesman Ned Price on Wednesday.

"It is consistent with our interests," he added. "Of course, it is consistent with the interests of the Palestinian people. It's also consistent with the interests of our partner Israel, and we’ll have more to say on that going forward."

The first funds to be delivered are $15 million to the Palestinians to address COVID-19, according to U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield last week.

They are also the first delivered to the Palestinians during the Biden administration, according to the report.

Trump had offered about $5 million to the Palestinians at the beginning of the pandemic, but it is uncertain if they accepted the funds amid the icy relationship as the Trump administration proved to be more supportive of the Israel side of the long-running border unrest.

The Palestinians also wanted to avoid potential exposure to anti-terrorism laws in the U.S., The Hill reported.

The recognition of Jerusalem as the Israel capital and moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv proved to be a key point of tension between Trump and the Palestinians, along with the U.S. recognition of Israel settlements in the West Bank.

"President Biden has been clear in his intent to restore U.S. assistance programs that support economic development and humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people and to take steps to reopen diplomatic missions that were closed by the last U.S. administration," acting U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Richard Mills told the U.N. Security Council on Jan. 26 shortly after President Biden's inauguration, The Hill reported.

Another 10% to the big guy.

I guess they were running short of missiles and mortars to lob at Israel. Lucky Biden came through for the terrorist. Now he just needs to figure out how to deliver several pallet loads of freshly printed US $100 bills to Iranian Revolutionary Guards terrorist and he will be really excited.

RE: Biden* Administration Sending $125M to Palestinians
Quote:The Biden administration was applauded Thursday by the U.N. agency for so-called Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, after it offered $250 million in funding while sidestepping a 2018 law that prevents U.S. taxpayer dollars from supporting the Palestinian Authority.

“UNRWA could not be more pleased that once again we will partner with the United States to provide critical assistance to some of the most vulnerable refugees across the Middle East,” the agency’s commissioner general, Philippe Lazzarini, said in a statement seen by AFP.

“The U.S. contribution comes at a critical moment, as we continue to adjust to the challenges the Covid-19 pandemic presents.”

As Breitbart News reported, the State Department’s announcement of the funding flow confirmed weeks of speculation about a “quiet” effort to restart finance for the Palestinians — even as the American public struggles during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic:



Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. plans included $75m in economic and development assistance in the West Bank and Gaza, $10m for peacebuilding programs through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAid), and $150m in humanitarian assistance for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

The direct Palestinian aid – with no concessions asked for or offered in return – is in direct contrast to the position taken by former U.S. President Donald Trump.

In 2018 he signed the Taylor Force Act into law, which prevents the U.S. from providing economic support and other funding to the Palestinian Authority while it continues to offer stipends for the families of deceased terrorists, or to pay terrorists in Israeli prisons — a policy referred to by critics as “pay-for-slay.”

The Palestinian leadership, having refused to end the payments, as a consequence lost U.S. funding.

Trump also cut funding to the UNRWA because of concerns that it has supported terror. The Taylor Force Act allows for a limited set of humanitarian exemptions, such as funding for vaccination programs.

The Biden decision to earmark millions in Palestinian support drew particular anger from Israel, which argues the agency serves to perpetuate the idea of a Palestinian refugee problem in a way that undermines the Jewish state.

Palestinians never concealed their contempt for Trump or his support of Israel.

“We believe that this U.N. agency for so-called ‘refugees’ should not exist in its current format,” said the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Gilad Erdan.

“I have expressed my disappointment and objection to the decision to renew UNRWA’s funding without first ensuring that certain reforms, including stopping the incitement and removing anti-Semitic content from its educational curriculum, are carried out,” Erdan said.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric welcomed the restored U.S. assistance, and German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said it “sends the right signal” amid growing needs due to the coronavirus pandemic.

We should be taking that money and investing it into propping up Central American countries so that their people won't have to come to America.

"$10 million for "cross-border, people-to-people reconciliation activities."

I don't think missiles across the border come under that. Bwahahahahaha, what a bunch of idiots these Demons are. Their antics are laughable.

If Palestine is not an actual country, how exactly does the United States give them money?
