Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, later told reporters the administration would cut off aid if the Palestinians refused to take part in peace talks with Israel.

A U.S. official denied the Channel 10 story on Friday afternoon, after it spread through USA media. "Deliberations are ongoing, and we have until mid January to make a final decision". A senior White House official said no decision have been made yet, but confirmed that a review of the USA assistance to the Palestinians is underway "in light of the Palestinians' recent conduct".

Hours earlier, the Defense Ministry committee responsible for authorizing construction in the West Bank published building plans for over 1,300 Israeli settlement homes that it intends to push through the various planning stages when it meets next Wednesday.

Trump's move was slammed by most of the worldwide community and at the UN General Assembly.

Invests $730000 in Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) Stock
KeyBanc Capital Markets maintained Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ: TXN ) on Tuesday, November 21 with "Hold" rating. On Tuesday, August 1 SANCHEZ ROBERT E sold $2.19M worth of Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ: TXN ) or 26,905 shares.

"This story is not true", the official told The Jerusalem Post. As an example, we pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect.

The move comes after the Palestinian Authority suspended their contacts with the Trump administration in response to its decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. "But with the Palestinians no longer willing to talk peace, why should we make any of these massive future payments to them?", the next tweet asked.

It was not immediately clear whether Trump was threatening all of the budget, worth $319 million in 2016, according to U.S. government figures.

"Prime Minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) supports a gradual cut to UNRWA", said the senior Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity. But Secretary of State Rex Tillerson put a hold on the funds while the administration reviews its next steps, said one of the people. Palestinian officials said Trump's move disqualified the US from being a mediator.
