Donald Trump stopped funding the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF) today during his second term as president. This action was part of a broader global freeze on foreign assistance initiated by the Trump administration shortly after his inauguration on January 20, 2025.
Specifically, the funding halt for the PASF was reported on February 19, 2025, as confirmed by U.S. and Palestinian officials cited by The Washington Post. Unlike during his first term (2017-2021), when direct aid to the Palestinian Authority was cut but funding for PASF training and reform persisted through the Office of the Security Coordinator in Jerusalem, this time all funding, including for security forces, was completely terminated.
PASF must be regarded as a terror organization and should likewise be banned in Israel. The State of Israel should stop all cooperation with the PASF.
The Israeli NGO ‘Regavim’ nailed it and also called for change in Israel’s policy. It can’t be that the Trump Administration is more pro-Israel than the Israeli government which seems to fold to Hamas&Co on every single issue. Israel should urgently finish any cooperation with the genocidal terror organization “PA”. Is Trump the better Israeli Prime Minister, are some asking?
Regavim stated: “The US government’s freeze on funding for these terrorists in uniform is also a call to action to the government of Israel: The time has come to look reality in the eye, to abandon the disastrous paradigms that have cost countless Israeli lives, and to bring about long-overdue change.”
Regavim’s “Officers by Day, Terrorists by Night” report provides comprehensive documentation of the direct involvement of officers of the Palestinian Authority Security Forces in dozens of acts of terrorism in the last three years alone.
“We applaud U.S. President Donald Trump @POTUS for his leadership in recognizing the true nature of the Palestinian Authority, which shares the same ambitions and objectives as Hamas. The decision to freeze funding sends a clear message to the people of Israel and empowers our own leaders to adopt a similar policy. The repeated, disastrous attempts to collaborate with terrorists, whether they wear military uniforms or suits and ties, have resulted in bloodshed on Israel’s streets. The time has come for the Israeli government to see reality as clearly as the current US administration does, and to take the steps necessary to bring about the long-overdue change,” said Meir Deutsch, Director General of Regavim.
The broader picture is addressed by Cheryl E: We have to see the unity of Hamas and “PA”. And as I may add: Israel is fighting the genocidal “Palestinians” who are organized in many different terror organisations like Hamas or “PA”. There are no civilians. Facts that the current government and the deep state of Israel deny resp. turn a blind eye unto them.
Ben Gvir stated too on X that the collaboration with and appeasement of terrorists must end by addressing the surrender “deal” with Hamas.
“Nothing will whitewash the reckless surrender deal signed by the Israeli government, which includes the release of thousands of murderous terrorists from prison, a dramatic increase in the flow of logistical aid to Hamas, and the withdrawal of IDF forces from the vast majority of the Gaza Strip – allowing Hamas to rebuild itself. All this, while the government has complete American backing to rain down hell on Hamas if all our hostages are not released immediately. I call on the Prime Minister and the ministers to come to their senses and return to a war of total annihilation of Hamas immediately. Only in this way will we return all our hostages without abandoning the security of the state at exorbitant prices, and only in this way will we achieve complete victory,” posted Ben Gvir.
