US aid to Palestinian security services to end Friday
2019-01-31
[IsraelTimes] US aid to the Paleostinian security services will end this week at the Paleostinians’ request, an official in the West Bank says, to preempt lawsuits over alleged support for terrorism.
All that unspent money could be used to pay for the wall...
The Paleostinian Authority has demanded the funding stop at the end of January for fear it could expose the PA to costly lawsuits under the US Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act (ATCA), which comes into force on February 1.
Yes, definitely the prudent choice, however harmful to the continued growth of certain private bank accounts.
"The money will be cut off," senior Paleostinian official Saeb Erekat
...negotiated the Oslo Accords with Israel. He has been chief Paleostinian negotiator since 1995. He is currently negotiating with Israel to establish a de jure Paleostinian state...
 tells AFP in the West Bank city of Ramallah. "We don’t want to receive any money if this will take us to court."

The ATCA legislation passed by Congress last year provides for any government that receives funding to be subject to US counterterrorism laws. The PA faces potential lawsuits from families of American victims of past Paleostinian attacks.

The aid of around $35 million a year was in support of Paleostinian security forces in the West Bank, which cooperate closely with their Israeli counterparts against Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, and other terrorist groups.
