DAVOS, Switzerland — President Trump threatened Thursday to write off the Palestinian leadership and withdraw further U.S. aid if Palestinians are not serious about negotiating peace with Israel, deepening a diplomatic rift and putting Trump’s hopes for a historic agreement on hold.
Trump cast doubt on whether talks could happen now, and blamed Palestinian intransigence rather than his decision to shift decades of U.S. policy on the status of Jerusalem.
“That money is on the table, and that money is not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace,” Trump said of the hundreds of millions in U.S. aid for the Palestinians.

Here's an old song I like.
Money talks, you know what walks..
“putting Trump’s hopes for a historic agreement on hold.”
I think it does just the opposite.
Why are we sending the ANY money at all?
Just take away funding.
Take away every dollar from these Goat humping Bpttle throwers. Then go to all the other mooching countries and take away all aid. The UN Aid and funding should be stopped also.
throw them out of the US. Use the UN Building and funds for Americans. Vets would be nice.
[negotiating peace with Israel]
Beware “peace” with dividing Israel, Mr. President. We don’t want any part of that.
Now, cutting off aid to Palestinian terrorists, (PLO, Fatah, Al-Asqa Martyr’s Brigades, PFLP, Hamas, etc). GOOD idea.
I don't think Trump "hopes" for an agreement, historic or otherwise, given these terrorists records of non-compliance.
Just yank the funding, and say if they're good little third world fakes, maybe they can ask to try again in two years.
Poor Paliees. If they really get into a bind for cash, I suppose they could always sell that new $50M jet they just bought for Abbas.
“rather than his decision to shift decades of U.S. policy on the status of Jerusalem.”
Hahahahaha! Please Compost. Comedians you are not.
Since Trump is moving our Embassy to Jerusalem, he has proven himself by his actiins to be the least likely president to divide Israel that we have ever had.
I don’t think there is anyone in American Politics who needs that rejoinder less.
lol
Might as well send that money to devil worshippers.
The PA is a terrorist organization in the first degree. We should have never sent them a penny to begin with.
The moral is: “They ain’t Shiite”
My prayers are that you are correct. I’m going to send you a FReepmail that will surprise you - you may laugh - or cry.
Though this WILL happen eventually - the world is sliding into it I sure don’t want the USA to hurry it along.
....Just take away funding...
Iran can make it up with the billions Obama sent to them.
Does John Kerry know about this?
Starve the subhuman vermin.
