The Palestinian Authority should reign in incitement against Jews and Israel in their media before the United States sends more aid, several members of Congress said at a Capitol Hill news conference on the eve of a scheduled meeting of the U.S.-Israeli-Palestinian committee on incitement. Rep. Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.), who has authored a resolution opposing a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood that now has 170 co-sponsors, promised to oppose U.S. aid to the Palestinians “unless they clean up their act.” An Israeli member of the anti-incitement committee told supporters that he stayed away from the news conference at the State Department’s request.
