US aid to the Palestinian Authority’s security services will end this week at the PA’s request, senior PLO official Saeb Erekat said Wednesday, according to AFP.

The move is meant to preempt lawsuits over alleged support for terrorism.

The PA has demanded the funding stop at the end of January for fear it could expose the PA to costly lawsuits under the US Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act (ATCA), which comes into force on February 1.

"The money will be cut off," Erekat told AFP, adding, "We don't want to receive any money if this will take us to court."

Thanks Eleutheria5.

If the Act was written well, they wouldn’t be able to receive indirect US funding either, e.g. from the UN.

So they’d get it from the EU, Russia, maybe even the Saudis, and if not them, then Iran. They think they’re just funding some harmless Jooo!-killing, until it’s them that gets murdered.
