Biden Sending Millions More To Palestinians During Conflict With Israel
 (AOL) WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration notified Congress this week that it will send millions of dollars in U.S. assistance to the Palestinians aimed at promoting peace with Israel even as violence between the two sides rages.
As the conflict intensifies despite U.S. calls for restraint, the administration notified Congress on Thursday that it will provide $10 million to Palestinian groups in the West Bank and Gaza to support exchange and reconciliation projects with Israelis.
| Currently the exchanges are armed and deadly on both sides, with no Arab-Israeli or Palestinian interest in reconciliation in sight. |
The recipients of the aid were not named.
| The best we can hope for is that the entire $10 million finds its way into select senior PA private bank accounts abroad... |
The State Department said Friday that the money is part of more than $100 million that the administration allocated to the Palestinians earlier this year, reversing a near total cutoff in support under former President Donald Trump.
| So at least it isn’t in addition to previous payments, merely more of what was already promised. |
