The new funding was described as budget support for the Palestinians and is separate from the $400 million in aid that President Barack Obama pledged in June during a White House visit by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican who stands to take over in January after her party won the House of Representatives, said she was deeply concerned over what she called the bailout of the Palestinian leadership, which she claims has failed to live up to its commitment to dismantle the Palestinian terror infrastructure, eradicate corruption and recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
Sending US tax dollars to the Palestinian Authority to help them cover their budget shortfall is a bailout, plain and simple," she said.
It is deeply disturbing that the Administration is continuing to bail out the Palestinian leadership when they continue to fail to meet their commitments, under international agreements and requirements outlined in US law, including dismantling the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure, combating corruption, stopping anti-Israel and anti-Semitic incitement, and recognizing Israels right to exist as a Jewish state.

Thank you for speaking up, representative.
I hope we put a kabosh on this.
WOO-HOO!
Right on, Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen!!!
This plus the extra $150 million Hillary Clinton promised them yesterday.
“Palestinians” are the same thing as terrorists. They are allied with Hamas and other terrorist organizations with the mutual goal of destroying Israel and killing Jews. The phrase “peace process” is totally bogus. Obama and Hillary Clinton are giving aid and comfort to the enemy in this time of war. This is treason. These traitors should be defunded by the House of Representatives, and also impeached.
Thank You Ileana !!
Ileana for President ping !
We’re bucking to bail out a rejectionist terrorist regime at a time when we’re dead broke.
How about taking care of Americans first?
The Administration has its priorities in the wrong order.
I’m just hoping that our newly-elected pubbies do that here in MI, also. Aunt Jenny was shoveling money to the metropolitin muzzie area.
