West Bank and Gaza
The Challenge
Recently, major developments have taken place in the West Bank/Gaza, including Israel’s disengagement from Gaza and four northern West Bank settlements, Palestinian Authority (PA) control of the Egypt/Gaza Rafah border crossing, and Hamas' victory in the Parliamentary elections and strong showing in municipal elections. The possibility that Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, could form the next PA Government has resulted in a comprehensive interagency review of all U.S. Government assistance to ensure that USG assistance continues to reflect U.S. policy goals and is fully compliant with U.S. law. Given the short time between the elections and the publication of the Congressional Budget Justification (CBJ), it is not possible to complete the review and make any resultant program changes before submission of this document. Therefore, USAID will postpone submission of the West Bank/Gaza CBJ until the review is completed and specific changes to the program are known.
