Reshaping U.S. Aid to the Palestinians
(The Hill) Dennis Ross, Dave Harden and David Makovsky - With prospects for diplomacy dim, with the need to change reality on the ground, and with past lessons showing that aid should be used to promote development, we propose that Congress reprogram the $200 million in fiscal 2018 assistance to the Palestinians. U.S. assistance in Gaza can fund a small solar field to power the existing Gaza Wastewater Treatment Plant, build up community-based solar desalination units, initiate additional phases of the North Gaza Emergency Sanitation Treatment plant, and repair water infrastructure.
