Although this amendment failed, it brings up an important question: Should we even be funding the Palestinian government in the first place?
From Fox News. Senate Democrats voted down an amendment on Thursday to freeze aid to any Palestinian government until hostages held by Hamas are released and the Palestinian Authority renounces the terrorist group.

The measure, proposed by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., failed to reach the required 60 votes needed. The final tally was 44 in favor and 50 against the measure.
A total of 47 Democrats, plus the three independent senators, voted against the amendment. Only one Democrat — Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V. — cast a vote in favor of the amendment.
… Sens. Lindsey Graham, John Barrasso, John Kennedy and Rick Scott — did not cast a vote. …
The amendment would have barred aid to the Palestinian Authority, or any other Palestinian governing entity in the West Bank and Gaza, until certain conditions were met — like formally renouncing the Ot. 7 terror attacks on Israel.
“We speak of human rights but reward those who violate them,” Paul said on the floor. “We can no longer afford empty rhetoric. It makes no sense to borrow money from China and turn around and give that money away to foreign countries. It is fiscally irresponsible, and it is weakening our national security. America must demand a change, a change in behavior from those who do not accept Israel’s right to exist from those who actively seek the destruction of the State of Israel and murder innocent Israelis.”
Paul proposed the amendment to the short-term spending bill that extends funding for government agencies until March. Congress is anticipated to pass the bill by the end of Thursday before sending it to President Biden’s desk. …
According to the amendment, the Department of State’s West Bank and Gaza 2022 Human Rights Report identified significant human rights issues with the Palestinian Authority, “including credible reports of unlawful or arbitrary killings.” …
What do you think of the amendment? Would you have wanted it to pass? Share your thoughts and prayers below.

As I was praying over the debt of this country. It became clear for me to pray Less Government and More Stewardship. Even as individuals max their credit and have t o “tighten their belt” so do governments. We can do it voluntarily or God the Father WILL DO IT FOR US..
Let those who have ears to hear begin No we to obey ..
Lord we pray for more representation by individuals who fear You and honor Your Holy Word. We pray for integrity in our upcoming elections. We pray specifically for those who know what Your Word says regarding the Jewish people and the land from the Euphrates River to Egypt. May more God fearing people be lead to speak up and be heard. We pray for a hedge of protection and a mighty wall of fire around Your chosen ones and the peace that passes all understanding. As well as protection around the Palestinian Christians who are caught up in this evil brought on by Hamas and those who support them. The Palestinians who peacefully work along side their Jewish neighbors. Open our current leaders eyes to see the truth that sets us free. We pray for more repentant hearts that are changed to please You. May they be convicted of what honors You and what does not as they make their decisions. Lord have mercy on our souls. Amen
This is a spiritual war we must pray against the deception and spirits that are deceiving senators, congressmen and others in government. Pray people would see, God open people’s eyes, that things wouldn’t be partisan. People are behaving like children fighting just to disagree. This is lunacy, spiritual forces that have blinded their eyes. God please open their eyes to see. God have mercy on us and help us. ❤️🙏
Totally support Israel!!! ALL the way!!! I pray mercy for their enemies, but they MUST BE STOPPED !!!
