Israel had given the Palestinians safe vaccines for their people but they were rejected because they were from the Jewish state of Israel. That's how far anti-Israel conditions go on the Palestinians side; depriving their people vaccines from COVID.
Biden wants to restore U.S. leadership globally and build better preparedness. Protecting the United States from COVID-19 requires a global response, and the pandemic is a grave reminder that biological threats can pose catastrophic consequences to the United States and the world. The president’s plan will provide $11 billion including to support to the international health and humanitarian response; mitigate the pandemic’s devastating impact on global health, food security, and gender-based violence; support international efforts to develop and distribute medical countermeasures for COVID-19; and build the capacity required to fight COVID-19, its variants, and emerging biological threats.
The USA is giving money to the Palestinians for COVID relief. The rest of $90 million dollars will go to rebuilding US-Palestinian relations. That's very broad. Some of the money will go for sanitation, transportation, job training and grants for small businesses.
His father, Fathi, is a former security prisoner who previously served as an officer in the Palestinian Authority’s security services in Jenin, and therefore already receives a stipend from the PA. This is what Israel faces; jailed terrorists get paid by the Palestinians for their good job of terrorizing; killing Israelis. They are encouraged to do so by their governing people like Abbas. Will they now feel like supplying even more terrorists with money to kill Israelis?
Israel has been working on similar goals with the Palestinians. Being that the Palestinians were being used since 1967 by Muslim neighbors as pawns to fight against Israel, it hasn't been working out though Israel tries. The Israel-Palestinian relations continue to be rockets, mortars and missiles aimed at hitting Israel from behind the line or tunneling to come up and grab victims. So often, any money for construction projects will go for ammunition to use against Israel and not other helpful reasons.
As for small businesses, Israel has had so much static in creating jobs for Palestinians in manufacturing in Judea-Samaria by the BDS folks-anti-Semites in USA and Europe, that they can't continue. A good example is: SodaStream , that is a company that is not only committed to the environment but to building a bridge to peace between Israel and Palestine, supporting neighbors working alongside each other, receiving equal pay, equal benefits and equal rights.
That is what is happening in their Maale Adumim factory every working day.
As part of Scarlett Johannsson's efforts as an Ambassador for Oxfam, she said, "I have witnessed first-hand that progress is made when communities join together and work alongside one another and feel proud of the outcome of that work in the quality of their product and work environment, in the pay they bring home to their families and in the benefits they equally receive." SodaStream had to close down. "Sodastream pulls out of West Bank following campaign by Palestinian groups - company says it is "purely commercial" decision. Sodastream, the Israeli maker of fizzy drink machines, will close its West Bank factory after coming under intense pressure from pro-Palestine groups."
Another example is Norway. Norway’s recent decision to label food products from Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria is not about upholding international law, but about discriminating against the Jewish state, international law expert professor Eugene Kontorovich told JNS. Kontorovich, director of international law at the Jerusalem-based Kohelet Policy Forum, said that Israel needed to respond more robustly to such moves.“Actions like this take place in part because European countries have come to expect a mild reaction on Israel’s part–a strong statement and then business as usual,” he said. “When it comes to discriminatory trade measures, countries can expect to get picked on if they don’t retaliate,” he added.
Well, Biden, are you helping Israel to react robustly to all this discrimination or not? What steps Israel has taken to improve relations has been countered by others, not backed.
