Israel has been our staunch ally going back to the Cold War. Can Biden explain why the enemy of our ally is being given aid and comfort.
The Biden administration is quietly ramping up assistance to the Palestinians after former President Donald Trump cut off nearly all such aid.
Since taking office with a pledge to reverse many of Trump's Israeli-Palestinian decisions, the administration has allocated nearly $100 million for the Palestinians, only a small portion of which has been publicized.
The administration announced last Thursday that it was giving $15 million to vulnerable Palestinian communities in the West Bank and Gaza to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic. A day later, with no public announcement, it notified Congress that it will give the Palestinians $75 million for economic support, to be used in part to regain their “trust and goodwill” after the Trump-era cuts.
