Rep. Ronny Jackson and the America First Legal foundation have successfully secured a legal victory to investigate President Biden’s decision to allocate hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to Palestinian groups.
This act, the 2018 anti-terror law, the Taylor Force Act, prohibits U.S. taxpayer funds from going to the Palestinian Authority (PA) as long as it continues to provide stipends to the families of Palestinian terrorists killed by Israel or those currently in Israeli prisons.
Due to the PA’s refusal to cease these payments, direct aid from the U.S. to the PA was halted.

Despite Biden’s campaign promise to reinstate these funds, he promptly resumed providing hundreds of millions of dollars to Palestinian groups upon taking office.
The total funding to the Palestinians exceeds $1 billion, with over half a billion allocated to programs targeted by the lawsuit led by Jackson, and $700 million to the UNWRA.
U.S. District Court Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk has issued a discovery order, asking the administration to furnish documents to Jackson and the plaintiffs.
These documents pertain to the potential risk that Economic Support Funds (ESF) provided to the Palestinians could be used by terrorists for purchasing weapons instead of addressing economic needs.
Evidence showed that the Biden administration knew there was a “high risk” that Hamas “could potentially derive indirect, unintentional benefit from U.S. assistance to Gaza.”
