BIDEN BREAKS FROM TRUMP ON PALESTINIAN AID

Joe Biden’s administration has announced it is restoring relations with the Palestinians and renewing aid to Palestinian refugees, reversing decisions made under donald Trump. Biden believes a two-state solution is the only way to bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians, said Jen Psaki, White house press secretary.

The previous government cut off funding for the un relief and Works Agency, which was established to aid the 700,000 Palestinians who fled or were forced from their homes during the war surrounding Israel’s establishment in 1948. Palestinian leaders broke off contact with the u.s. soon after.
