Washington Free Beacon on PMW’s report on PA Security Forces/Terrorists funded by the US “Palestinian Terrorists Get Firearms Training Thanks to Biden's Lame Duck State Dept “In 2023 alone, members of the Palestinian government's so-called security forces carried out more than 1,500 terror attacks against Israelis, according to a Palestinian Media Watch investigation shared with our Adam Kredo. It's only fitting, then, that the Biden State Department quietly funneled more than $3 million to the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF) to conduct "firearms and ammunition" training weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration… to undergo training centered on "the use of ammunition and firearms" at Jordan's International Police Training Center. The Palestinian government is reportedly seeking another $680 million from the United States to handle security operations in the war-torn Gaza strip should Israel withdraw. If history is anything to go off of, the training will be used against Israelis in the West Bank. "Earlier this month, for example, the PASF announced that one of its officers, Hassan Rab'iah, was killed during a standoff with Israeli forces in Jenin, a West Bank city," writes Kredo. Shortly thereafter, the designated terror organization Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades announced that Raba'iah "was one of its commanders," according to the Palestinian Media Watch investigation, which found that nearly 400 Palestinians imprisoned for terrorism are known PASF members." “The U.S. spending—both past and, potentially, future—"is drawing concerns in both Israel and Washington, D.C.," Kredo notes. Former HFAC chairman Michael McCaul told us that the Trump administration "must conduct rigorous oversight of this type of funding, which the Biden administration quietly noticed at the 11th hour." The Trump State Department said its ongoing foreign assistance freeze will help it do just that.”
