The Trump administration has frozen funding for the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF), a group that has been involved in terrorist attacks on Israelis. The move is part of the administration's broader global aid freeze and comes as the Palestinian Authority and its leader, Mahmoud Abbas, compete for control of post-war Gaza. The Biden administration had previously provided millions of dollars in funding to the PASF, despite acknowledging that it could support Hamas. The PASF is considered crucial for maintaining law and order in both Gaza and the West Bank, but off-duty members have carried out numerous attacks against Israelis.
