Trump administration cuts $200 million in aid to a dictatorship that never deserved it
Donald Trump's wisely revoking aid money from the PLO, and it's about time they had their monetary aid taken away after all the terrorism it was used to finance:
President Donald Trump ordered that more than $200 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority be cut, a State Department official said on Friday.Nobody's tax dollars should be wasted on Hamas either, and you can be sure quite a bit of that money given by previous administrations was provided to Hamas by the PLO as well. In fact, they should be cutting ALL of the financial aid, and not give even a single half-penny to them. The PLO has always been a terrorism outfit, and now it's time to strip them of any diplomatic recognition as well.
The announcement comes on the heels of a review examining U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority.
According to the official, Washington seeks “to ensure these funds are spent in accordance with US national interests and provide value to the US taxpayer.”
“As a result of that review,” the official continued, “at the direction of the president, we will redirect more than $200 million in [fiscal year 2017] economic support funds originally planned for programs in the West Bank and Gaza. Those funds will now address high-priority projects elsewhere.”
The terror group Hamas’ control of the Gaza Strip was partly to blame, the State Department official said. The measure “takes into account the challenges the international community faces in providing assistance in Gaza, where Hamas control endangers the lives of Gaza’s citizens and degrades an already dire humanitarian and economic situation,” he said.
