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-โฆ
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.
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.
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
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 ๐ฎ๐ฑ's right to exist.
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. ๐ฎ๐ฑ 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 โsettlersโ 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.
Ataraโs 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.
"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."
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/mideasโฆ), 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.
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 ๐ฎ๐ฑ & allow the participation of terrorists in the upcoming PA elections.
