A bipartisan panel of House lawmakers voted to threaten to defund the Palestinian Authority over support for terrorism, following the murder of an American man in Israel.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee passed the Taylor Force Act unanimously on Wednesday, as lawmakers hope to force the Palestinian Authority to scrap support for terrorists. The bill is named for a former Army officer whose murderer was celebrated by Palestinian leaders. Congress hopes to crack down on those assaults by threatening to withdraw the $300 million in foreign aid to the Palestinian leadership.
