CBS News: Trump says he won't give aid to Palestinians unless they agree to peace deal

In a Rosh Hashanah conference call with Jewish faith leaders and rabbis, President Trump said he would not give money to Palestinians until they agree to make a peace deal.

"I stopped massive amounts of money that we were paying to the Palestinians and the Palestinian leaders. We were -- the United States was paying them tremendous amounts of money," Mr. Trump said Thursday. "And I'd say, you'll get money, but we're not paying you until we make a deal. If we don't make a deal, we're not paying."

Hate comment:

1) I was for a 2 state solution until 2005. Then I got real.

"Ten years ago this month, the Israeli army undertook one of its most controversial missions, uprooting more than 8,000 Jewish settlers from their homes here in Gaza, some by force.

Many Israelis today believe all they got for their troubles were more rockets."

2) Maybe someone who voted for Carter twice remembers Camp David Accord?

Maybe? Perhaps? If they put their thinking cap on?

- "Egypt received military aid of US $1.3 billion annually"
- "Israel has received $3 billion annually since 1985 in grants and military aid packages"

Does Fred want to welsh on a deal?

I assume so.

were those uprooted settlements illegal? we are not told by a commenter
Egypt gets military aid so long as they accept Israel's right to exist and to not try another invasion
again: I favor two states. If you do not, tell us what to do with Palestinians in West Bank and in Gaza?
something you do not know: if Hamas does not agree to work with Israel, they will go under in 5 years through waters that are (1) fully contaminated and salty (2) no drinkable water

"Egypt gets military aid so long as they accept Israel's right to exist and to not try another invasion"

Duh!

Israel get money for keeping the peace also and for giving up what they won, the Sinai, which is worth a lot.

I like it that Israel gets more money than Egypt. IMO they are a more reliable ally than Egypt. My objection was to this comment by a known lib:

"But non stop aid to Israel whether they agree or not"
