It’s good to see the administration holding their ground on this important point: Rice Says No U.S. Aid for Hamas-Led Gov’t.
WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice informed Congress on Wednesday that no U.S. assistance will be provided to a Hamas-led Palestinian government.
Rice told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the Bush administration would not turn its back on such humanitarian programs as immunizing children against disease.
“But no money will go to that government,” Rice said under questioning by Sen. George Allen, R-Va.
“I don’t want a penny of taxpayer money going to Hamas,” Allen told Rice.
“Neither do I,” she replied.
The administration is in the midst of reviewing U.S. aid to the Palestinians.
Israeli and U.S. officials have denied any plot to topple the Hamas-led government that will be formed soon, BUT any decision to shelve all or most U.S. aid could undercut Hamas’ standing with the Palestinians.
How ridiculous. A “plot.” The first “plot” ever to be discussed openly in Congress.
