Is renewing US funding to the PA legal under US law?

The short answer is...

Sometimes things are complex & don't fit into a 280 characters.

So you are just going to have to read the report.

palwatch.org/page/23835
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 limited US aid to the PA by deducting an amount equivalent to the PA payments to terrorist prisoners and the families of dead terrorists from the annual allocation.
jpost.com/diplomacy-and-โ€ฆ
The Taylor Force Act, 2018 limited all US aid to the PA given via the Economic Support Fund, until the PA completely abolishes its terror reward payments and meets other conditions.

palwatch.org/page/14039
The Anti-terrorism Clarification Act, 2018 forced the PA to choose between supporting terror or receiving US aid. The PA chose terror support.
palwatch.org/page/15259
The Anti-Terrorism Act, 1987, inter alia, designated the PLO as a terror organization and consequently limits the use of US aid given to the PA.

palwatch.org/page/16701
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 also limited US Economic Support Fund aid, if the PA initiates or actively supports an ICC investigation against Israel. The PA has initiated such an investigation and is actively supporting it.
palwatch.org/page/18644
The Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act, 2006 would limit US aid to the PA if any PA government were to include members or representatives of the terror organization Hamas.
palwatch.org/page/19690
US aid to UNRWA is not limited by US law.

Until the PA elections were cancelled, the terrorist org. Hamas was set to take part & win.

In the run up to the elections, the PA told the @POTUS Biden administration (@SecBlinken @HadyAmr) that all the parties participating had accepted ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ's right to exist.

They lied! Again!
The election list of Hamas, approved by the PA Central Elections Commission, included known terrorists & even a mass murderer.

palwatch.org/page/19690
The EU (@vonderleyen @JosepBorrellF @EUpalestinians @EUinIsrael @EGiaufretEU) & the @UN (@antonioguterres @TWennesland) actively supported the participation of the homicidal terrorists, claiming it would "set the path toward meaningful negotiations." palwatch.org/page/23820

Here are just some of the fundamental flaws in the new @HRW report:
1. The report is a lie that distorts both fact & law.
2. Under Apartheid, Black South Africans were prohibited from owning land. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Arabs have the right to & own land in Israel.
>>>
palwatch.org/page/15137
3. The report ignores that fact that the Palestinian Authority controls 40% of Judea and Samaria.
4. The report ignores the fact that the Gaza Strip is controlled by Hamas, an internationally designated terror organization.
>>>
5. The report ignores the fact that 90% of the Palestinians live under Palestinian control.
6. The report ignores that fact that Arabs resident in Jerusalem enjoy Israeli education, health, welfare, etc. etc. etc.
7. The report ignores Palestinian terror.

Next time anyone claims Jews are โ€œsettlersโ€ in Judea & Samaria, tell them the story of Atara Abramson.

Murdered by Jordanian soldiers, in May 1948, Atara lived in Kfar Etzion, a Jewish agricultural village 20 km south of Jerusalem established on land bought by Jews in 1934.
Born in Poland in 1926, Atara was herded from her home by the Nazis from place to place, ending WWII in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.

Ataraโ€™s entire family was murdered by the Germans & their willing helpers.

She was the LAST SURVIVING member of her family.
After her first attempt, in 1946, to immigrate to Israel was foiled by the British, in complete breach of the Mandate for Palestine, she eventually realized her dream in February 1947, going to live in Kfar (village) Etzion , in the Etzion block.

Below, @HelloLauraKelly writes:

"The State Department will also deliver $40 million from the 2016 and 2017 budget that is meant for security cooperation programs... in the West Bank."

But how is that possible?

According to a 2018 Congressional report (see below) the US INCLE aid to the PA for the years 2016+2017 totaled $115 million.

One has to assume, considering the close relationship between @BarackObama & the PA, that most of the 2016 budget was indeed provided to the PA.

>>>
According to that same congressional report (fas.org/sgp/crs/mideasโ€ฆ), President Trump only announced the freeze of US funding to the PA at the end of Aug. 2018, 2 weeks after approving the transfer of the 2017 $61 million INCLE aid.

The biased EU is on a roll today.

First they condemned Jews for defending themselves against homicidal terrorists as "excessive" use of force, & now they are selectively reading the Oslo Accords to condemn ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ & allow the participation of terrorists in the upcoming PA elections.
A few weeks ago they chose a Palestinian terror supporter as someone they are #InspiredbyHer.

palwatch.org/page/18674
And all this alongside the constant flow of EU cash, used by the PA to fund its #Payforslay terror reward policy.
