House panel passes bill to cut funding to PA over payments to terrorists

The US House Foreign Affairs Committee unanimously passes the Taylor Force Act today, legislation that will cut US funding to the Palestinian Authority if it doesn’t discontinue the practice of paying monthly stipends to the families of terrorists who kill Israelis.

In the same session, it also passes two other bills designed to confront Palestinian terrorism.

The Hamas Human Shields Prevention Act, which passed with bipartisan support, will sanction foreign governments, entities and individuals for providing financial and material support to the Islamic terror group Hamas.

The Palestinian International Terrorism Support Prevention Act will also impose sanctions on foreign support for Palestinian terrorism.
