The Trump administration has entirely cut off all financial support for the Palestinian Authority’s security apparatus, the Washington Post reports based on information from both US and Palestinian Authority sources.
This move is part of a broader suspension of foreign aid implemented by the president.
Under the previous Trump administration, while funding for the Palestinian Authority was halted, there was still financial support for the training and reform of the PA’s security forces.
However, this new decision arrives at a particularly critical juncture, as the Palestinian Authority is facing significant challenges in maintaining its authority and legitimacy. Last December, the PA’s security forces launched a major operation in Jenin to dismantle competing militant factions.
In contrast to the approach taken by the current administration, the Biden administration has actively supported the PA, even attempting to place it in charge of the Gaza Strip, a position that goes against Israel’s stance.

Thank you President Trump for your wonderful leadership.
The PA is a terror organization. It tries to masquerade as a government. But its agendas and positions are obvious. Biden and his thugs saw that. That’s why they supported them. Yes, Biden followed Obama in supporting terror.
Despite a tremendous amount of sorrow and harsh events, I feel our tefillos, kabbalos, and maasim tovim over the past year sweetened some judgements, and Hashem is causing America’s leader to perform quite a lot of good for Am Yisrael.
(Though turning Gaza into a resort desecrates Eretz HaKodesh, so I’m not for that. But the rest has been pretty good.)
