Officials say the Obama administration in its waning hours defied Republican opposition and quietly released $221 million to the Palestinian Authority.

GOP members of Congress had been holding up the money.

A State Department official and several congressional aides say the outgoing administration formally notified Congress it would spend the money Friday morning, just before Donald Trump became president.

More than $227 million in foreign affairs funding was released at the time, including $4 million for climate change programs and $1.25 million for U.N. organizations.

When asked about the transfer by a reporter during Tuesday’s press briefing, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that “[Trump] is very concerned about how taxpayer money is spent, whether it’s sent overseas and what we get for it in terms of the relationship or our support for a democracy or aid to another country for their defenses. But he’s going to be examining all aspects of the budget… He’s going to make sure that every deal, every dollar that is spent by the government is done in a way that respects the American taxpayer.”

Instead of sending our tax money to a bunch of RAG HEAD TERRORISTS in "Palestine" they should send it to the ISRAELIS who have been battling the same terrorism we now face for decades, and who is actually our BEST FRIEND in the Middle East.

Sick and tired of OUR MONEY being used to support the same FILTHY SCUMBAG MUSLIMS who are trying to kill us.

AGREED!

When you tell the lefties how the Palis (and the other Arabs) teach hatred to all non-muslims to their kids and in their Arabic language broadcasts, then hypocritically turn around and say the opposite in English, the tell you you are lying, you racist Nazi.
