Since the establishment of limited Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the mid-1990s, the U.S. government has committed over $4 billion in bilateral assistance to the Palestinians, who are among the worldäó»s largest per capita recipients of international foreign aid. Successive Administrations have requested aid for the Palestinians to support at least three major U.S. policy priorities: Preventing terrorism against Israel from Hamas and other militant organizations; Fostering stability, prosperity, and self-governance in the West Bank that inclines Palestinians toward peaceful coexistence with Israel and a äóìtwo-state solutionäó; Meeting humanitarian needs. Contents of this report: Issues for Congress; Palestinian U.N.-Related Initiatives and Possible Fatah-Hamas Consensus -- Effects on Aid; FY2012 Aid and FY2013 Request; Major Conditions, Limitations, and Restrictions on Aid; Types of U.S. Bilateral Aid to the Palestinians; U.S. Contributions to UNRWA; Issues for Congress in Determining Future Aid; Conclusion. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
