"Congress to vote on witholding Palestinian aid"

WASHINGTON (AFX) - The House of Representatives is to consider a resolution today on withholding US assistance from the Palestinian Authority unless Hamas revokes its call for the destruction of Israel.

The measure states that "no United States assistance should be provided directly to the Palestinian Authority if any representative political party holding a majority of parliamentary seats within the Palestinian Authority maintains a position calling for the destruction of Israel."
