Trump Admin Cuts U.S. Aid to Palestinians

Aid cuts follow recent passage of the Taylor Force Act in Congress

The Trump administration late Friday announced that it had cut $200 million in U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority until it can ensure this American taxpayer money will not be used to fund terrorism, according to U.S. officials who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.

One senior U.S. official familiar with the decision to cut U.S. aid told the Free Beacon the administration will no longer enable the Palestinian Authority and those in the Hamas terrorist government to use aid dollars in their war against Israel.

"Hamas is fighting a morally-bankrupt war at the expense of the Palestinian people," said the official, who was only authorized to speak on background. "Hamas's corrupt and illegitimate control has provoked conflict and led to poverty and hopelessness, while hampering the ability of the international community to help."
