Biden is wrong to restore aid to the Palestinians

Published April 3, 2021 10:00am ET



The Biden administration has reportedly allocated nearly $100 million in U.S. aid for the Palestinians, despite their continuing failure to recognize the Jewish state of Israel.

The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that the Biden administration has quietly resumed funding the Palestinians. On March 26, a day after the administration announced $15 million in coronavirus assistance to the West Bank and Gaza, it notified Congress that it will give $75 million in economic assistance to the Palestinians “to be used in part to regain their ‘trust and goodwill.'” This follows heavy cuts to U.S. aid under the Trump administration.
