Senate votes 50-44 to give Billions to Palestine officials. Rand Paul tried to stop it.

Sharing is Caring!

The Senate beat back an amendment from Sen. Rand Paul to limit foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Gaza.

It failed 44-50 as the chamber neared a final vote on a short-term government funding patch that would keep the lights on until March.

“The only thing consistent about American foreign aid is that the money continues to flow, regardless of the behavior of the recipients,” Paul (R-Ky.) said. “You would think with the massacre and everything else why would we be giving any money to the Palestinians … shouldn’t they have to do something to earn the money?”
