palestine statehood threats

'A senior US congresswoman says the Palestinian Authority (PA) could face an aid cut if it pushes ahead with its unilateral statehood demand to the United Nations.

“That [demanding unilateral statehood] would be a very very bad thing to do. It will affect US aid to the Palestinian Authority. It would be a very serious step. It also could affect our funding at the UN,” said Texas Republican Representative Kay Granger, who chairs the House appropriations subcommittee with jurisdiction over foreign aid, the Jerusalem Post reported on Saturday.'
