U.S. Senate, House Clash on Funding for Palestinians
(Jewish Insider) Marc Rod - The Senate Appropriations Committee approved its version of the 2024 State and Foreign Operations bill last week, setting up a clash with the House over funding for a range of foreign policy programs. Where the House bill seeks to cut much of the U.S. funding to the Palestinians and significantly tighten conditions on such aid, the Senate bill maintains the funding, including $75 million for the UN Palestinian refugee agency and $225 million for aid to the West Bank and Gaza.
