aDemocrats are reportedly trying to convince the Palestinians to make salaries based on economic conditions and not just terrorism, said senior intelligence analyst Yossi Kuperwasser.
The Trump administration requested in its 2020 budget proposal, released on Monday, that the United States continue not to give any taxpayer assistance to the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria and Gaza.
The 'End Palestinian Terror Salaries Act' would build on the Taylor Force Act to impose penalties on officials who reward terrorists and their families.
'Abbas has once again revealed his true intentions as he directly pays hundreds of millions of dollars to terrorists with blood on their hands,' Danon charged.
The Palestinians have abandoned their circuitous method of diverting foreign aid to compensate terrorists and their families, paying them directly to openly defy the US.
While the PA paid terrorists and their families more than $347 million in 2017, it increased terror incentives by $56 million to $403 million for 2018.
The Taylor Force Act cuts all funding to the Palestinian Authority until it stops financially rewarding terrorists. We must ensure this bill becomes law!
“I will never stop [paying] the allowances to the families of the prisoners and released prisoners, even if this costs me my position and my presidency.”
A bipartisan group of Senators introduced the Taylor Force Act which calls to cut all funding to the Palestinian Authority until it stops giving monetary rewards to terrorists. We must ensure this bill becomes law!
Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Dan Coats (R-IN) and Roy Blunt (R-MO) introduced the Taylor Force Act, which would require the US secretary of state to verify the PA has ended its policy of paying monetary rewards to terrorist and their surviving family members.
