Rand Paul Attempts To Woo Neocons By Cutting Aid To Palestinians

John Hames shared with you:   Rand Paul Attempts To Woo Neocons By Cutting Aid To Palestinians The Daily Beast - Rand Paul has long been an object of skepticism among neoconservatives in the Republican Party for his hostility to foreign aid and activist foreign policy in the Middle East. However, the Kentucky senator and 2016 hopefulwill introduce legislation Monday that designed to allay the concerns of some of his criticism within the GOP. The irony is that the legislation will cut off foreign aid to the Middle East, or at least one part of it. Bob Costa from The Washington Post scooped that Paul will introduce legislation designed to cut aid to the Palestinian Authority if the unity government between Hamas and Fatah goes forward. The bill would cut aid after five weeks unless the Palestinians renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist. Available on the App Store.
