USA is Planning to Restore Palestinian Aid

According to Fox News, the Trump administration closed the Palestine Liberation Organization office in Washington, D.C., froze all federal contributions to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency – which provides support for Palestinian refugees, and moved the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a sticking point for Palestinians who also view Jerusalem as a holy city that should be in Palestine.  

News agencies reported that Biden's administration plans to re-open Palestinian diplomatic missions that were shuttered under former President Donald Trump and restore US aid to Palestine, the acting US ambassador to the UN has announced. 

But reports didn't mention when these decisions will take action on the ground. 

Biden is expected to restore aid to agency, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) that was just called out in a report for the glorification of “martyrs” and calls for “jihad” in student textbooks. https://t.co/Bb8FF9joZa

Biden has promised to reverse Trump's huge aid cuts to Palestinians, meaning US money will flow back into the coffers of the Palestinian Authority. But this model of an "economic peace" is antithetical to Palestinian liberation. - @yarahawari https://t.co/2UaJaDSbiF pic.twitter.com/Aeqd2fHer1
