US Support For The Palestinian People

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken will meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah and representatives of Palestinian civil society in Jerusalem on March 27. The Secretary will reaffirm the U.S. commitment to the Palestinian people and the Administration’s support for a lasting, negotiated two-state solution.

U.S. Assistance to the Palestinian People

As we work toward a negotiated two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we are also increasing our assistance to the Palestinian people. Since April 2021, the United States has provided over half a billion dollars in assistance for the Palestinians, including more than $417 million in humanitarian assistance for Palestinian refugees through UNRWA, $75 million in support through USAID, and $20.5 million in COVID and Gaza recovery assistance.
