Cut foreign aid to Palestine if they continue to refuse to enter peace negotiations with Israel

Created by M.D. on December 19, 2015

On October 1st of this year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood before the United Nations and asked Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to begin the process of non-conditional peace negotiations.

It is currently December 19th and no such negotiations have begun. Instead, there has been nothing but bloodshed and terrorism.

I call upon the Obama administration to alter the terms of the foreign aid we send to Palestine. Make a condition of their foreign aid payments that the Palestinian Authority but be actively involved in peace negotiations with The State of Israel.

If they refuse to enter into such negotiations they would cease receiving aid from the United States.

Doing this would create incentive for the Palestinian Authority to enter into peace negotiations.
