As a final destructive act before leaving the White House, former community organizer Barack Obama and former Vietnam War protester John Kerry sent a parting gift of $221 million to their cohorts in the terror organization Palestinian Authority on Friday. Now the Trump administration has frozen that gift.
Israel National News reports that the new U.S. State Department reviewed the issue and decided to freeze the money until a new Secretary of State is appointed. If the transfer then fits with Trump’s policies, the money will be given to the PA.
Texas Congresswoman Kay Granger said on Tuesday night, "I worked to make sure that no American taxpayer dollars would fund the Palestinian Authority unless very strict conditions were met.
"While none of these funds will go to the Palestinian Authority because of those conditions, they will go to programs in the Palestinian territories that were still under review by Congress. The Obama Administration's decision to release these funds was inappropriate."
That's putting it mildly.
