All the services the Palestinian Authority has offered to America and the Jews did not earn it any favor with Trump even the crumbs were cut off!
News:
On Wednesday evening, February 19, 2025, the U.S. administration announced a complete halt to all funding allocated to the Palestinian Authority’s security apparatus. Officials from the PA told The Washington Post that the freeze harms the field capabilities of the forces and impacts training programs and Palestinian security centers. A source in the Jewish entity told The Washington Post that security coordination between the Jewish entity and the PA will not be affected, and that “other donors” had been found who agreed to fill the gap left by the U.S. freeze.

It is true that Trump came with a businessman’s mindset, not that of a politician.He declared from the start that he wanted to gather funds and cut expenditures, treating the state like a profit-driven company where success is determined by net profit (revenues minus expenses). This has affected many entities, institutions, and countries that relied on the crumbs handed out by the U.S.
But this decision carries other implications and consequences, including:
1.The funds America used to spend on the PA were primarily for its security apparatus tools to keep it bound to the American agenda and enable it to continue its loyal service to the Jewish entity.This is what is called security coordination, which has become the very lifeblood of the PA and its security forces.These were evil funds serving an evil purpose may Allah not bless them, nor those who sent them or spent them.
2.The primary party expected to suffer from this funding cut is the Jewish entity itself, because it is the PA security forces that protect it. What took place during the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and over the past 16 months especially the last two confirms this reality.The PA has intensified security coordination, pursued resistance fighters, arrested them, and even killed some, as happened in the Jenin and Tulkarm camps, leaving no fig leaf to hide their collaboration with the Jewish entity.
3.Trump will likely not completely abandon the PA and its security apparatus, because they serve American and Jewish interests. Rather, he will ensure the minimum necessary funding is provided through client regimes like those of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. In doing so, he will have used Muslim money to finance an authority that opposes Islam and Muslims.
4.If Trump decides not to provide alternative funding, then his message to the PA is to survive off the backs of the people of Palestine by increasing taxes,fees, and extortion tightening the noose on them and pushing them toward emigration. In this way, he would be killing two birds with one stone, as the saying goes.
Trump’s decision holds a lesson for every collaborator and agent: that betrayal ends in disgrace and loss. And what happens in this world is far less than what awaits in the Hereafter, where the words of Allah apply to them:
“And those who followed will say, ‘If only we had another chance, we would disown them as they have disowned us.’ Thus Allah will show them their deeds as regrets upon them. And they will never emerge from the Fire.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah: 167)
