PRIORITIES: Amid funding cut fears, PA purchases $50 million private jet for Abbas – report.

The report, which did not provide sourcing, said the plane was set to be delivered to Amman within weeks, and will be stationed there for use by the PA chief.

Funding for the plane was said to have been provided both from the PA budget ($20 million) and from the Palestinian National Fund ($30 million).

The report comes amid deep cuts to US aid to the Palestinians, and reports that further cuts may be coming.

If true, that’s a lot of hungry Palestinian children who won’t get fed, or more likely, a whole lot of American largess the PA has been able to count on for years.

Or both.
