A U.S. official says President Barack Obama has authorized more aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to help them recover from damage caused during a recent Israeli offensive.
U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell said Friday in Jerusalem that Mr. Obama has approved $20 million in emergency food and medical assistance for Gaza.
Fighting may cause more setbacks
Mitchell says it is important to consolidate a durable and sustainable cease-fire between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers while immediately addressing Gaza's humanitarian needs. He also says fighting in the region may cause more setbacks to peace efforts.
Mitchell says Washington remains committed to, "actively and aggressively seeking a lasting peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors."

How much of this money does 0bama suspect WON'T be spent on weapons to kill Israelis?
Great, our new President just funded avowed terrorists.
Just peachy....(eyes rolling)
How many Jews voted for obama?
CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.
Why can’t the frickin’ arabs pay for this with all their petrodollars.
No question now that Obama is a Muzzie sympathizer.
And the MSM will cheer and the worshippers will cry. This guy makes me sick.
Did anybody here really doubt this would happen?
These pali scumbags deserve nothing from us. This is pathetic having a muzzie sympathizer as POTUS.
I’m not saying that Obama is a Muslim terrorist planted by Al Qaeda.
But if he were, what would he have done differnet than he has done already. (closed Gitmo, sat down with al-Arabya, $$ to Gaza).
Just dandy.
I am just plain sick of spending money period. Bush was ridiculous with his spending money all over the world and now Obama has decided to follow suit. We can’t afford to send money out of this country right now (with the exception of Iraq and Afganistan obviously).
So now we’re funding Hamas. You think now Hamas will stop hiding in the hospitals, schools and local residents’ homes while they bomb Israel?
God help us!
This is disgraceful. Every day when I get up in the morning, I wonder what awful thing Barry the Marxist Muslim is going to do today. He never disappoints.
EVERY Jew should be made aware of this!

He might as well fund al Qaeda.
