One of many acts added into the omnibus spending bill signed by President Trump is the Taylor Force Act, which effectively cuts US aid to the Palestinians to near zero levels. It demands the Palestinians end domestic stipends to the families of slain attackers.
Pushed by Congressmen to try to double-down on cuts already announced, the act is named after Taylor Force, a US Army veteran who was stabbed and killed by a Palestinian in 2016. The attacker was killed, but surviving members of his family are eligible for PA stipends.
Under the new US law, the only types of aid allowed to be provided to the Palestinians are for clean water, and for the vaccination of children. The US is also allowed to provide certain aid to hospitals in occupied East Jerusalem.
Funding to the UN for Palestinian aid seems to be going very close to zero under this. The UN had been expecting $365 million from the US on the matter, but only ever got $65 million, because of previous Trump cuts aimed at punishing the Palestinians for complaining about his decision to declare Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Because these people have told him to..

Since the American people are generous there may be someone in the US who thinks the Palestinians should get the money. But I’ll bet that 99.9’% are saying ‘Bugger the foreigners. They should give all that money to me!!!’
Bolton doesn’t even believe in fictional creatures called “Palestinians”. He is on record saying Gaza should be Egypt and West Bank should be Jordan.
The US-Saudi-Israeli Axis of Evil
And the rest of the world’s governments are….? Palestinians shouldn’t have to rely on U.S. aid at all.
If I were the praying kind
I would pray for Jesus to come fetch him
You couldn’t have put it any kinder. Bless you Thorstein.
More money for the Israeli’s to kill and imprison children I suppose.
MAGA, means no dual citizenship!
No, MAGA means you fell for the Trump con.
No, I didn’t fall for the Trump con!
I’m calling out his hypocracy!
He can’t MAGA without confronting dual citizenship, just like the Australians don’t allow dual citizenship of their Goverment office holders.
Yeah, because Australia is such an overwhelming superpower of greatness.
LOL
So you want to defend your families,land and home from terrorizing thieving occupation? Well this is the price…So now i know what the nazis did to the jews..Historically such dripping irony.
Good. But all aid, both to Israel and palestine should be completely cut off.
These countries should be independent from foreign aid.
The US should slash aid to all nations.
Agree. As long as we completely abandon all military, government and private as well as public economic interests in those countries.
Karma is going to be a problem for Mr. Trump.
An excellent decision by the President.
