Taylor Force Act

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) and the America First Legal foundation won a legal battle Tuesday to examine President Joe Biden’s decision to grant hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to Palestinian groups in possible violation of a 2018 anti-terror law.

In light of recent terror attacks in Israel, including the deadliest one in over a decade, conservative law group America First Legal (AFL) is demanding President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s State Department end the “enabling” of Palestinian terrorism.

President Joe Biden “has blood on his hands” for his financing of terrorism in order to “score cheap political points with the antisemites in his party,” according to Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who announced his recent filing of a lawsuit against the current administration “to stop them from breaking the law.”

Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday ruled the Palestinian Authority can be held liable for terrorism and sued by the families of those killed in terror attacks, as a result of its so-called “pay-for-slay” policy gifting salaries to convicted terrorists and their families.

Ten U.S. Congress members met Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah last week in what they said was a “tense” discussion that involved a dressing down over the PA’s so-called pay-for-slay policy rewarding terrorists and their families, the Times of Israel reported on Wednesday.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) admitted the discovery of a terror tunnel under a Gaza school it operates.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Americans and Israelis will be murdered as result of the Biden administration’s decision to send hundreds of millions of dollars to the Palestinian Authority (PA) during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak.

The Biden administration was applauded Thursday by the U.N. agency for so-called Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, after it offered $250 million in funding while sidestepping a 2018 law that prevents U.S. taxpayer dollars from supporting the Palestinian Authority.

The Biden administration announced $250 million in spending Wednesday on the Palestinians, despite a 2018 law that prevents U.S. taxpayer dollars from supporting the Palestinian Authority while it pays stipends and pensions to terrorists and their families.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman on Wednesday criticized President Joe Biden’s decision to improve U.S. ties with the Palestinians, listing a host of reasons opposing the move, including corruption and incitement against Jews.

Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed Thursday that President Donald Trump has “put Israel in danger” — even as more and more Arab and Muslim states make peace with the Jewish state.

Stuart Force, whose son Taylor was killed by Palestinian terrorists during a visit to Israel, is urging former Vice President Joe Biden not to resume assistance to the Palestinian Authority (PA) if elected in November.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden expressed his opposition to Israel’s plans to extend Israeli law over parts of the West Bank, saying that will “choke off any hope for peace.” 

Joe Biden’s call to fund the Palestinian Authority (PA) with U.S. taxpayer dollars, including the organization’s subsidies for Islamic terrorist murderers and their families, is “morally repugnant,” said Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values and founder of the Jewish outreach organization Project Genesis.

Joe Biden would give Palestinians hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars per year without any commitment to stop rewarding terrorism or to renew negotiations.

The U.S. and Israel scored a joint foreign policy win last week when the Palestinian Authority (PA) ended its months-long resistance to accepting money from which funds to pay terrorists and their families had been deducted.

The U.S.-Israel relationship has never been stronger than under the current leadership of President Donald Trump, according to Pastor John Hagee, founder and national director of Christians United for Israel (CUFI).

Reps. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Doug Lamborn (R-CO) urged the United States Department of Treasury on Tuesday to use Executive Order 13224 to blacklist Issa Karake, director of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)’s Commission of Prisoners and Released Prisoners’ Affairs.

Knesset members are advancing competing laws with the start of Israel’s new parliamentary session to serve as the equivalent to America’s Taylor Force Act, which sanctions the Palestinian Authority’s “pay-to-slay” policy of providing terrorists and their families official stipends for the murder of Jews.

The New York Times made what some observers are calling the “correction of the year” in admitting the Palestinian Authority does, in fact, pay terrorists’ families.

TEL AVIV – U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman slammed the Palestinian leadership in an interview Wednesday, saying that the aging Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is replaceable and if he continues to show no interest in negotiating with Israel,

Breitbart News Senior Editor at Large Joel B. Pollak defended last week’s omnibus spending bill on Monday evening’s edition of Breitbart News Tonight.

Conservatives are understandably frustrated by the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill that President Donald Trump signed into law, under protest, on Friday. But the omnibus is not a disaster. In fact, Republicans scored many important wins.

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is praising the U.S. government for passing a law that suspends some financial aid to the Palestinians over the stipends paid to families of Palestinians killed or jailed in fighting with Israel.

Amidst criticism of the omnibus spending bill, the passage of the Taylor Force Act is a silver lining — and a milestone in foreign policy that could save taxpayers money.

WASHINGTON — The Taylor Force Act, which would slash funding to the Palestinians until Ramallah stops payments to terrorists or their families, will likely pass this week as part of a massive US government spending bill.

All countries should pass a law like the US’s Taylor Force Act, which bars the Palestinian Authority from making so-called “martyrs payments” to the families of terrorists, Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan told a Jerusalem anti-BDS conference of international lawyers on Monday.

TEL AVIV – In accordance with its “pay-for-slay” law, the Palestinian Authority last year paid terrorists and their families over $347 million, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said Tuesday.

TEL AVIV – New legislation that proposes deducting the amount paid by the Palestinian Authority to terrorists and their families from monies owed by Israel in taxes will be submitted in the Knesset, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said on Monday.

WASHINGTON — The US House of Representatives passed on Tuesday the Taylor Force Act, legislation that would cut US funding to the Palestinian Authority unless it discontinues its practice of paying monthly stipends to the families of terrorists who kill Israelis.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee unanimously passed the Taylor Force Act (House Resolution 1164) on Wednesday, taking the United States government one step closer to cutting funding to the Palestinian Authority (PA) if it refuses to end its practice of “pay for slay,” which involves rewarding terrorists for killing Americans and Israelis.

TEL AVIV – The Taylor Force Act—named after a U.S. Army veteran who was killed in a terror attack in Tel Aviv— that would force the Palestinian Authority to end its “pay-for-slay” program offering monthly stipends to convicted terrorists or else forfeit aid, is predicted to pass a critical vote next Wednesday.

On Thursday, the Trump administration said it will support a bill that would suspend America’s financial aid to the Palestinian Authority until it ends a longstanding practice of “pay to slay” which rewards Palestinians for killing Israelis and Americans.

Monthly payments to families of those imprisoned for attacking Israelis contribute to stability in Palestinian society rather than encourage terrorism, the senior Palestinian official in charge of disbursing them told The Jerusalem Post Sunday.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a bill Thursday to cut US funding to the Palestinian Authority if it does not stop paying salaries to terrorists and their families.

A day before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will consider a revised version of a measure that would strip US funding to the Palestinian Authority over its practice of paying terrorists and their families, the most powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington broke its silence and came out in support of the bill
