Watchdog group sues State Department over alleged aid payments to Palestine
The watchdog group Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) has filed a lawsuit against the US State Department over aid payments to Palestine made by the Biden administration that the group says violate a 2018 law.
The lawsuit, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, seeks documents from the Biden administration and accuses the White House and State Department of refusing to provide information that may show the Biden administration violated the bipartisan Taylor Force Act of 2018.
The Taylor Force Act prevents the US government from providing aid to Palestine until the Palestinian government ceases its so-called “pay-to-slay” operations.
The “pay-to-slay” scheme provides stipends to Paletinian terrorist who are serving out their terms in Israeli jails. The more Israelis the prisoner killed, the larger the stipend, and the money is believed to come from US aid payments.
The documents PPT seeks are related to the Biden administration’s decision to resume payments to the Palestinian Authority in April.
“The American public deserves transparency around this decision, which may not only be in violation of the law but could potentially result in increased danger for U.S. citizens and their allies,” Michael Chamberlain, PPT’s director, told the Free Beacon.
