The Bush administration is reconsidering whether to give $20 million to the Palestinian Authority to facilitate elections. State Department officials faced bipartisan opposition Wednesday when they informed congressional leaders of plans to give the aid to the Palestinian leadership, and are looking at new avenues to aid the elections, perhaps through the United States Agency for International Development, congressional sources said. The United States gives around $75 million each year to the West Bank and Gaza Strip through USAID.
