    Congress appropriated $257.5 million in 2018 for bilateral assistance to the two areas, but the Trump administration has not distributed the money because of perceived intransigence on peace talks by the Palestinians and payments to the families of those who have attacked Israelis.

    “President Trump’s refusal to provide humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people is a strategic mistake,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., one of the lawmakers who introduced the measure, said in a statement. “Denying funding for clean water, health care and schools in the West Bank and Gaza won’t make us safer. Instead it only emboldens extremist groups like Hamas and pushes peace further out of reach.”

    Along with Feinstein, the resolution was introduced by Sen. Jeff Merkely of Oregon along with Sens. Chris Coons of Delaware, Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada.

    In January 2018, the Trump administration launched a review of all aid going to the Palestinians. In July, the administration said it would redirect all fiscal year 2017 funds to other countries. The Trump administration continues to hold the fiscal year 2018 funds pending the outcome of the review.

    Fools. The Palis take whatever monies they get, and divert them away from humanitarian anything. Pay salaries to terrorists and their families is funding terror, and Trump is to be congratulated for having the guts to stop subsidizing that. Even what is sent for schools, water, medical needs never reaches these humanitarian targets. It goes into weapons and training their terrorists. They should never receive a dime of support. It is sad that other countries fund this evil.

    These 6 senators should be condemned for supporting terror under a humanitarian label. Shame on them. Their lives are a disgrace to United States. I wish them booted out of politics.

    Since anyone with a bit of שכל knows that there is no strategic value to be gained with these שוניאם one much arrive at the grim conclusion that there are so many שונאים in CA already that the politicians have to answer to them.

    Should start sending money immediately to isis and the Taliban then. So they don’t get radicalized for lack of clean water etc. What a bunch of cretins.
    I’m 100% sure Feinstein is a direct descendant of the Gaon of Chelm.

    Why Palestinians instead of starving people in Africa, Asia, Latin and Central America? Isn’t it because the Palestinians can actually do a lot of harm to Israel while the others can’t? If not for Israel, would anyone really care about the Palestinians, just like no one seem to care about dire poverty and starvation in other places?

    It’s not about aid to Palestinians – It’s about hating Israel and the Jewish homeland.
