Biden Sending Millions More To Palestinians During Conflict With Israel
2021-05-15
(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.

#7  A great percentage of the billions sent to Israel (and Egypt) result from the demilitarization of the Sinai brought about by Kissinger. The Sinai accords brought about the rapprochement that saw Israel leave the Sinai and Egypt maintain the peace with Israel. Money well spent. In contrast, the money spent in support of the Palestinians, at least since 1967, has been money down a rat hole.

#2  We shouldn't be giving money to either side. Billions in aid to Israel, a first world country? They don't need it. I sure wish the US Congress would show such unanimity when dealing with the American people - every time it's time to give money to Israel the vote is overwhelming.
