Biden Administration Sneaks in Funding for Palestinian State and Program to Delegitimize Israel: Last Thursday, Congress approved a massive spending package that was a mixed blessing for lovers of Zion. Supported by a majority of 68 to 31, the $1.5 trillion omnibus spending package included more than $4.8 million in aid for Israel and $1 billion in additional funding for the Iron Dome missile defense system. The package includes $219 million for the Economic Security Fund, which supports humanitarian projects for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This is the most significant amount since 2015. The Palestinian Authority security forces will also receive $40 million in US aid from the bill. In addition to that, the bill affirms US support for a “two-state solution” and the formation of a “viable democratic Palestinian state.” The “two-state solution” would create an unprecedented Arab state inside the boundaries of Israel in Judea and Samaria that is ethnically cleansed of Jews with its capital in an exclusively Muslim Jerusalem. The Palestinian Authority in power is based on the same idea that established Gaza, which quickly became ruled by Hamas. “This is disgraceful,” Sen. Cruz told the Free Beacon. “The Biden administration wants to use American taxpayer money to subsidize the international NGO campaign to demonize and isolate Israel, which then serves as a basis for anti-Semitic efforts to boycott and wage economic warfare against Israeli Jews. Congress did not appropriate funds for this purpose and has repeatedly condemned such campaigns.” Israel’s Bennett, UAE Crown Prince and Egypt’s Sissi Hold Historic Summit: Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met on Tuesday with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan in Sharm el-Sheikh, in a bid to boost regional ties. The three leaders discussed the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on energy, market stability, and food security, the Egyptian president’s office said in a statement.
