Congress nixes Trump’s $175m. peace plan fund, gives $150m. aid to Palestinians
Dire headline, not-dire story. Enjoy the maneuvering, dear Reader.
[IsraelTimes] $1.4 trillion spending bill leaves out White House-requested Diplomatic Progress Fund to boost peace efforts, inserts funding for Paleostinian security and humanitarian assistance.

A White House request to include $175 million in funding that would help pay for Israeli-Paleostinian peace efforts was left off a final 2020 Appropriations Bill set to pass Tuesday.

The Trump administration’s request to Congress earlier this year had included a so-called Diplomatic Progress Fund to respond to diplomatic breakthroughs, while slashing aid to the Paleostinians to zero.
