(TPS) Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu praised Congress and U.S. President Donald Trump for passing the Taylor Force Act, which will deduct aid money from the Palestinian Authority to offset PA payouts to the families of terrorists who attack Israelis.

The measure, which was approved by Congress and signed into law by President Trump, will put a halt to U.S. funding to the Palestinian Authority until Ramallah stops doling out so-called “pay-for-slay” payments. However, the measure includes three exceptions, allowing for U.S. funding to Palestinian water and childhood vaccination programs, as well as to East Jerusalem hospitals.
