Resumption of U.S. Aid to the PA Will Be Tricky
(JNS) Jonathan S. Tobin - Resumption of aid to the PA will be tricky for President Biden since U.S. law prohibits aid to the PA as long as it pays salaries and pensions to terrorists and their families. So what we will see is some sleight of hand move by Abbas that will claim the money spent on terror is for welfare payments or from some other budget line. Either way, it will be a lie. The problem is not just the idea of the administration flouting the law or its willingness to appease Abbas, who has vowed never to give up the payments. It's that the Palestinians will never give up their support for terror as long as the international community tolerates it.
