As the Palestinian Authority reconciles with Hamas, the U.S. rethinks the roughly $400 million per year it gives to the P.A. to strengthen its governance and security.
“The Palestinian Authority has chosen an alliance with violence and extremism over the democratic values that Israel represents,” a bipartisan group of US lawmakers said on Thursday after a meeting in Tel Aviv with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Washington warned US funding could not flow to a government that includes a group still on the US list of foreign terrorist organizations.

I sure hope we do stop sending money. It’s the right thing to do. We have been Israel’s friend and I don’t want that to change.

Seems to me that the U.S.A.not only needs to rethink the $400 million to the P.A. but needs to support financially democracy only to Isreal and not support the P.A. because of their alliance with violence and extremism. We should only be supporting democracy, nothing else. Money talks, and it talks loudly. Not supporting the P.A. would speak volumes.
The money we currently give the P.A. goes for terrorism, in my opinion.
