US official: Israel ‘enthusiastic’ about Biden’s restoration of aid to Palestinians
|
| So the Biden administration claims, anyway. Possibly the Israeli representative even said those words. |
[IsraelTimes] USAID chief Samantha Power tells congressional panel that Israeli officials recognize that economic stability in West Bank and Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...

Israeli officials have expressed "enthusiasm" to their American counterparts over the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra)

 ...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us...
’s restoring of aid to the Paleostinians after it was almost entirely cut off by the Trump administration, a senior US official said.
"We see a lot of enthusiasm on the part of the government of Israel to resume this assistance out of concern for the destabilizing effects of cutting off assistance [and] the fundamental recognition that economic stability plays a critical role," US Agency for International Development Administrator Samantha Power said during testimony Tuesday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Power appeared in order to answer questions from the panel regarding USAID’s entire budget for the 2023 fiscal year, but received a disproportionate amount of questions from politicians from both parties regarding US aid to the Paleostinians.
US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. Don't say he didn't warn us...
has restored over $500 million in assistance to the Paleostinians since entering office. The vast majority of those funds have gone to the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees, but about a quarter of it has gone to USAID for various humanitarian and economic projects in the West Bank and Gaza.
This assistance was cut by former president Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
after the Paleostinian Authority refused to engage with US peace efforts. Ramallah severed ties with Washington in 2017 after Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
US law bars financial assistance directly to the PA, namely due to Ramallah’s welfare program, which includes payments to security prisoners as well as the families of those convicted of carrying out attacks against Israelis.
Nonetheless, several Republican politicians pressed Power as to whether any US aid was reaching the PA. In response, the USAID administrator expressed "great confidence" that her agency adheres to the Taylor Force Act, the legislation barring aid to Ramallah so long as it continues its controversial stipends.
While Israel has also passed legislation sanctioning the PA over what it brands as the "Pay to Slay" policy, officials in Jerusalem have repeatedly expressed concerns over Ramallah’s economic woes. Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Regional Cooperation Minister Issawi Frej have urged European donor countries to increase aid to the PA to prevent its collapse.
Power also said during Tuesday’s hearing that her office is in regular contact with the Israeli government regarding water, sanitation and peace-building projects the agency is looking to advance and that Jerusalem is supportive of those efforts.
Power pointed to the Middle East Partnership for Peace Act (MEPPA) passed by Congress in 2020, earmarking $50 million annually for five years in grant money to organizations that focus on Israeli-Paleostinian dialogue and Paleostinian business development.
USAID announced its first grant recipients earlier this year, and Power told the Foreign Affairs Committee that her agency was working to broaden the exposure of MEPPA to organizations on the ground so that more of them will apply to receive funding.
