Restoring U.S. Aid to Palestinians while Complying with the Taylor Force Act

(JNS) Israel Kasnett - According to Brig.-Gen. (res.)

However, the Taylor Force Act demands that the Palestinians stop paying salaries to terrorists, which "will be difficult for the Palestinians to do." "All kinds of sympathizers in the Democratic Party are trying to convince the Palestinians to make changes in their law so the salaries will be based on some sort of economic conditions and not just on the issue of terrorism." What worries Kuperwasser is that the Palestinians are "going to play all sorts of tricks. They are not really going to change anything significant.

Terrorists will continue receiving salaries from the Palestinian Authority."
