The White House is signaling its support for a new congressional effort to cut all U.S. funding to the Palestinian Authority due to its continued support of terrorism against Israelis and Americans, according to senior lawmakers and senior White House officials.
Leading lawmakers in the House and Senate gathered Tuesday on Capitol Hill to introduce legislation that would cut all U.S. funding to the Palestinian government, which has been criticized for providing financial incentives to terrorists who kill American and Israeli civilians.
The White House signaled its support for the legislation in a vast departure from the Obama administration, which worked against similar efforts when in power.
A senior White House official familiar with the effort told the Free Beacon that the Trump administration welcomes this effort and will sign it into law if it passes Congress.
"The Palestinian Authority's use of its resources to provide material support for terrorism—indiscriminately targeted at American and Israeli civilians—is a grotesque example of how well-intentioned U.S. generosity can be turned against us," a senior White House official told the Free Beacon.
The legislation, which aims to tighten the financial noose on the Palestinian government and force it to abandon its practice of paying terrorists, is a first step to reforming the notoriously corrupt government, the official said.

More winning ping.
Yup! That’s why the non-snowflakes elected them.
There are no ‘Palestinians.’ They are descendent Jordanians, Arabs, Iraqis, Turks and whatever. Yet none of these countries (and there are more) that refuse to claim them.
This is ALL about Jew-hate.
It’s about time. Oh, wait. Now they’re going to want to kill us. Oh, wait, that’s what they have intended and have been doing all along. Any leadership responsible for giving those people our money for so many years need to be prosecuted for treason and locked up.
Fantastic!
This is going to make the liberal and JINO (Jews-In-Name-Only) efforts to portray Trump as an anti-Semite more problematic.
Just a FYI. Here’s a story and a bunch of photos from the oppressed Palestinian territories:
Yasser Arafat -- the very founder of their fake movement -- was an Egyptian, born in Cairo, and was schooled and served in the army there.
15 of the 19 hijackers on 9-11 were Saudi's. Saudi Arabia funds every wahabbi mosque and madrassa built in the United States, all of which foment hatred towards the United States of America.
Again, when will President Trump signal his approval to cut off ALL funding (including military assistance) to Saudi Arabia?
A very legitimate question.
Yeah! You betcha!
Palestinian territories need to be made Rocket Free Zones.
Good. Obama funded terrorists generously for eight years. They should never get any more of our money. [And neither should any other foreign aid country.]
Win with Trump! End the obama-USA funding and protection of Moslem terrorist murder gangs... PLO-PA, Iran, ISIS, Hamas, hezbellah and all the rest. Then destroy them !
Why the hell are w giving money to Hamas?
>So when are we cutting off all aid to Saudi Arabia?
Remove ‘to S.A.’ and you have the correct question.
