The US transferred $221 million to the Palestinian Authority (PA), funds former US President Barack Obama quietly released in his waning hours.
The Trump administration initially announced a freeze on the move.
During Wednesday’s press briefing, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said it was his “understanding” the funds had been released, after initially saying there was an ongoing review.
The funds are meant for Palestinian programs, including “water, infrastructure, education, renewable energy, civil society, municipal governance, and the rule of law, as well as Gaza recovery,” he said.
A small amount was transferred directly to Israeli PA creditors, as well as to Jerusalem Palestinian hospitals.
“None of the funding was to go directly to the Palestinian Authority,” Toner stressed.

Reminds me of an old Mad Magazine feature, "When They Say...It Really Means..." Wm. M. Gaines, thou shouldst be living in this day.
New boss, same as the old boss.

Yah sure you betcha
obama gave his Iranian IslamoNazi pals $1.5 BILLION and he gave money to other terrorist gangs too, like here with the PLO ... all this means is more and more Moslem terrorist attacks all around the world (including in USA Europe and Israel, among other places)
more and more Moslem terrorist murder attacks
thanks to Obama (and SorozNazi backing him, and the American taxpayers that they ripped off to fund all this terrorism)
“The funds are meant for Palestinian programs”
Such as vest and IED makers.
Foggy Bottom is as murky as ever.
So tell me again how many billions was Yasser Arafat worth when he died? Why does his widow need $20 million a year to live in Paris? No, this is not going into anyone’s pocket. Bullcrap!!!!
Thought this was blocked?
We get the best enemies money can buy. Same old same old. Should give it to Israel and let them apportion it as they already provide 20 eighteen wheelers a day of supplies for Gaza I believe.
line up the State Department employees and have them count off by 4s (1-2-3-4 repeat 1-2-3-4).
Odd numbers please leave the building immediately.
Money is earmarked for the Palee “Pay to Slay” progrom.
You could have them count off by tens and then use the Roman Army punishment of “decimation.”
There is a barnyard term that describes the State Department.
Worthless as teats on a boar hog.
Clinton did the same thing in the early 90’s when he released funds and supercomputers to North Korea for them to use to generate electrical power for their agricultural problems.
They converted them from industrial to weapons capacity and now, along with Clinton releasing the Missile Re-entry Vehicle tracking program (MRV) to bring missiles down he gave to China that got to N Korea, they can now target Hawaii and Japan with nuclear warheads.
I guess the libs never learn.

As if money weren’t fungible.
“Infrastructure” + attack tunnels; new and restorations.
Ah, the Israelis got the money the PA owed them
Got it
“Rule of law” = a public urinal. Now anyone can piss on it. Democracy.
Do you really think that those incidents weren’t intentional??
