Now that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has given his blessing to the new Hamas-led Palestinian “unity” government, and has stated that a “black page in history has been turned forever,” American legislators on Capitol Hill are now demanding that President Obama cease aid to the new terrorist-laden Palestinian Authority.
In a joint statement asking the Obama administration to review any and all aid the U.S. is sending to the Palestinian government, even after the administrations initial reaction to the forming of he unity government was to continue aid, Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mark Kirk (R-IL), called President Obama’s cease all aid to a government that now has American blood on their hands.The Senators are demanding that the Hamas-led government acknowledge Israel and cease all support of, or acts of terrorism.
Fat chance that his going to happen.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
“The United States has given more than $5 billion to the Palestinians over the last several decades. U.S. assistance to the Palestinians has played an important role in helping to ensure Israel’s security and promoting stability in Palestinian controlled areas.
Current U.S. law is clear – any government over which an unreformed Hamas exercises undue influence and which emerges from a Fatah/Hamas deal is not an appropriate recipient of U.S. assistance. The naming of a technocratic slate of ministers by President Abbas seems to be an attempted end run around these obligations.“Hamas remains a terrorist group that has killed Americans. Its leaders continue to refuse to accept Israel’s right to exist. One month ago, we wrote to Secretary of State Kerry and urged him to state clearly the U.S. position regarding assistance to a power-sharing government backed by Hamas.
We have yet to receive an answer. Now that the President Abbas has announced the new government, consistent with existing U.S. law, we believe that U.S. assistance should be halted and reviewed. Unless Hamas publicly accepts Israel’s right to exist and ceases its support for terrorism, U.S. aid should be suspended to any Palestinian government over which Hamas exercises influence.
“The administration’s initial reaction to continue aid is outrageous and runs counter to existing law. We call on the Obama administration to enforce the law. U.S. credibility as well as Israel’s security are at stake.”-Senators Marco Rubio and Mark Kirk
Rubio and Kirk want President Obama to obey an existing U.S. law?
Obama has gone rogue, and will continue to trample on the constitution and disregard any laws that he believes does not conform with his doctrine.If Obama sends one more penny to his newly formed state sponsor of terrorism, American blood will be on his hands as well, if it already isn’t.
Is it time to Obama to be impeached?
