Israeli officials have asked the Trump administration to amend a law that would essentially end aid for the Palestinian Authority's security forces, who have a cooperation program with Israel that many believe has provided stability in Judea and Samaria, Channel 13 News’ Barak Ravid reported on Wednesday.
The law, which is slated to go into effect on February 1, would force foreign organizations to be subject to the jurisdiction of US courts if they accept certain forms of assistance from the US government. It was signed by Trump last October with the intention of ensuring the Palestinian Authority pays compensation to terror victims who won civil suits against the PLO in US courts.
