President Joe Biden's administration plans to provide $235 million of aid to Palestinians, restoring part of the assistance cut by Donald Trump, the BBC website reports today (April 8, 2021).
Two-thirds will go to the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees, which has suffered a financial crisis since it lost $360 million of U.S. funding in 2018.
Biden wants to "restore credible engagement" by the Palestinians in long-stalled peace talks with Israel.
Palestinian leaders accused Trump of being heavily biased towards Israel.
