The administration is attempting to circumvent the Taylor Force Act, which prohibits direct contributions to the Palestinian Authority.

The PA will be paying Hamas terrorists who massacred Jews on October 7.

U.S. State Department officials expressed those concerns privately, asking the Treasury Department to exempt them from laws barring the United States from sending funds into areas run by "Palestinian" terror groups.

Israel's five-point plan to “stabilize the civil situation in the Palestinian arena” was approved at Sunday’s cabinet meeting by eight ministers.

The 2018 bi-partisan US Taylor Force Act (TFA) conditions much of the US aid to the Palestinian Authority on the latter abolishing its Pay-for-Slay terror reward policy.

The U.S. government is in violation of the 2018 Taylor Force Act, the plaintiffs contend.

"The United States is concerned about increasing tensions and violence in the West Bank among Palestinians, including the recent clashes in Jenin and Nablus."

As a workaround, the terrorists will be required to come into an office to receive their "pay to slay" funds. A new bank is also being set up to sidestep the anti-terror restrictions.

“Sympathizers in the Democratic Party are trying to convince the Palestinians to make changes in the law so salaries will be based on economic conditions and not just on terrorism,” said Yossi Kuperwasser, a senior intelligence and security expert at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.

“Basically, if you agree with the sentiment behind the Taylor Force Act, you don’t restore funding to the Palestinians,” said Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.)

“The catch with aid to the Palestinian people is to ensure that it doesn’t further strengthen the PA.”

Listen to an interview with attorney Maurice Hirsch from Palestinian Media Watch about the Knesset Bill which passed into law this past week freezing the amount of PA tax funds being paid to terrorists & their families. Today on Israel Uncensored w/ Joshua Hasten.

The PA said it would file complaints against Israel at the International Criminal Court and U.N. Security Council.

The figure reflects the Palestinian Authority’s attempt to encourage and perpetuate terrorism, Defense Minister Liberman pointed out.

"The House has taken a crucial step towards ending the PA's intentional misuse of foreign assistance to financially reward terrorists and their families."

"True partners for peace do not engage in ‘pay to slay,’ as these payments have come to be known."

"The [PLO] Executive Committee condemned the legislators of the American Congress and their positions towards the Palestinian people."

What's making Gadi Crazy?

"Government opposition to the Palestinian Authority policy of paying salaries to convicted terrorists ought to be self-evident."

"They'd shoot me and I'd die, and my children would receive an allowance... I don't regret what I did."
