U.S. Preparing Post-Election Boost in Palestinian Aid
(Reuters) The Bush administration is considering a proposal to boost U.S. aid to the Palestinians this year by up to $200 million to help shore up support for a newly elected president, sources close to the deliberations said Tuesday. The money is expected to be tied to Palestinian efforts in stopping violence and carrying out reforms, U.S. officials and diplomatic sources said. The new aid would come on top of the financial assistance already provided by the U.S., either through the UN or through nongovernmental organizations.
