MAJORITY OF U.S. SENATORS PLEDGE NOT TO SUPPORT PALESTINIAN AID UNTIL GOVERNMENT REVIEWS ICC BID…….

The problem is, that they are duty bound by a UN resolution, not to give the P.A. one single dime since it’s in bed (in a joint government) with the terrorist Hamas IslamoNazi regime.

Washington- Three in four US senators pledged not to support assistance to the Palestinian Authority until the Obama administration reviews the admittance of Palestine to the International Criminal Court.

“Current law prohibits economic assistance to the Palestinian Authority if the Palestinians initiate an ICC investigation of Israeli nationals or ‘actively support such an investigation,’” said the letter sent Thursday by 75 senators to Secretary of State John Kerry.

“Although we believe it is in the interest of the United States for urgent humanitarian assistance to continue to be provided to the Palestinian people, we will not support assistance to the Palestinian Authority while you undertake a review of this matter,” it said.

It is not clear that the Palestinian Authority violated US law with its actions. The ICC prosecutor, not the Palestinians, initiated the preliminary examination of whether crimes were committed during last summer’s Gaza war, and a formal investigation has yet to be launched. Typically it takes years for examinations to become investigations.
