| US cuts aid to Palestinians by more than $200 million |
| 2018-08-25 |
| [ARABNEWS] The Trump administration has decided to cut more than $200 million in bilateral aid to the Paleostinians, following a review of the funding for projects in the West Bank and Gazoo, the State Department said Friday. The department notified Congress of the decision in a brief, three-paragraph notice sent first to politicians and then to news hounds. It said the administration will redirect the money to "high priority projects elsewhere." The move comes as President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... and his Middle East pointmen, Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, staff up their office to prepare for the rollout of a much-vaunted but as yet unclear peace plan for Israel and the Paleostinians. "At the direction of President Trump, we have undertaken a review of US assistance to the Paleostinian Authority and in the West Bank and Gazoo to ensure these funds are spent in accordance with US national interests and provide value to the US taxpayer," the department said. "As a result of that review, at the direction of the president, we will redirect more than $200 million ... originally planned for programs in the West Bank and Gazoo." "This decision takes into account the challenges the international community faces in providing assistance in Gazoo, where Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, control endangers the lives of Gazoo’s citizens and degrades an already dire humanitarian and economic situation," the notice said, without providing additional details.
