counter such trends,” John Lyndon, ALLMEP’s incoming executive director, said in a statement Wednesday. The Trump administra- tion cut the assistance in part because the Palestinian Authority refused to end subsidies to the families of Palestinians jailed or killed for attacks on Israelis, but also because Palestinian leaders opted out of peace talks after Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. It was never made clear why the Trump administration ended the relatively small amount of funding for dia- logue groups, which did not reach the Palestinian Author- ISRAEL ity. Trump administration in- siders have suggested that the JUST GOT programs never proved their efficacy, because there was no Israeli-Palestinian peace. Supporters say the programs aim to tamp down tensions and create opportunities for CLOSER Israeli-Palestinian interac- tion and leave peace-making to diplomats. Israel’s right-wing pri- oritizes interactions with Palestinian individuals over Non-Stop Flights from those associated with dialogue groups, saying the latter Orlando to Tel Aviv reinforce a sense of Palestin- ian national identity at the July-August expense of peace-making. Lowey in her release said that one of the purposes of the fund was to lay the ground- work for a two-state outcome. “Time and time again, Congress has reiterated its support for a two-state solu- tion that leads to two states Featuring More Than 150 Non-Stop Destinations for two peoples,” she said. “To 90+ Domestic | 60+ International aid the pursuit of this dream, this bipartisan legislation would stimulate economic OrlandoAirports.net /flymco @MCO flymco #FlyMCO development and build com- munity ties between Israelis and Palestinians. There are no shortcuts to peace, and this bill lays the foundation for this generation and those to come to engage in the hard work of peace-building.” Right-wing figures in Israel have lambasted some of the groups under the ALLMEP umbrella for bringing to- gether former fighters on both sides, and families of victims of violence on both sides, saying it creates a false equivalence between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian ter- rorists.
