U.S. Congress Targets Stipends for Palestinian Terrorists
(Jerusalem Post) Michael Wilner - Congress is moving to prevent the Palestinian leadership from using U.S. aid dollars to provide monthly stipends to people convicted of murder or terrorism, Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.) told the Jerusalem Post on Wednesday. Language has been inserted into next year's foreign aid bill to reduce aid to the PA by the amount paid to Palestinian prisoners convicted of terrorism. "I believe there's a moral issue here....I don't see how Palestinians can defend this practice," Coats said.
