U.S. Lawmaker Slams Hamas Payments
[Jerusalem Post] Herb Keinon - Congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA), the third-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives, sent a letter to PA Prime Minister Salam Fayad demanding an explanation for his government's transfer of salary payments to Hamas. "Without further explanation from you, I will feel compelled, upon returning to Washington, to forewarn my colleagues in the Congress that any visits with your government offer little value," said Cantor. "Furthermore, I will help lead opposition in Congress to any proposed call for additional U.S. taxpayer dollars being sent to the Palestinian Authority."
