GOP Expects Bipartisan Support to Block Taxpayer Funds to Palestinian Authority

GOP Expects Bipartisan Support to Block Taxpayer Funds to Palestinian Authority: Congressional leaders are moving to cut off all taxpayer dollars to the Palestinian Authority if it continues monetarily rewarding terrorists for attacks on Israelis and Americans, top Republican lawmakers said Tuesday.
The effort comes after an attempted last-minute $221 million dollar transfer to the Palestinians by the Obama administration in defiance of congressional objections, which triggered anger and calls for retaliation from lawmakers. The Trump administration placed that payment under review.
