The Biden Administration is determined to undo the most important achievement of the Trump administration, that is, its support for Israel's rights under the Palestine Mandate and U.N. Resolution 242, and for the Abraham Accords, and its refusal to any longer tolerate the PPalestinian Authority's Pay-For-Slay Program, or the antisemitism in its schoolbooks.
The memo, which was passed along to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, highlights UNRWA in particular as one of the organizations the Biden administration plans to back in order to aid the Palestinians.
Now the Biden Administration, ready to turn on the spigot of American aid, is preparing to undo the Trump administration's financial pressure on UNRWA to reform both its absurdly expansive definition of a "Palestinian refugee" and its antisemitic schoolbooks.
Noting major economic disparities between Israelis and Palestinians, the memo states that the Biden administration is "Planning a full range of economic, security and humanitarian assistance programs , including through UN Relief and World Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.".
The Biden Administration now appears to have lost its enthusiasm for the Palestinian elections, because it now believes that Hamas will emerge with the most members in the Parliament, and might even win the Presidency if it decides to field a candidate.
Amr recommends the Biden administration push the PA to clamp down on incitement while also calling out Israeli settlement expansion on land that Palestinians hope will be part of their future state.
The Biden administration will also seek to boost Palestinian institutions.
