US gives $75 million more in aid to Palestinians

None

US Secretary of State John Kerry says the United State will provide an additional $75 million in aid to create Palestinian jobs and help them improve roads, schools and other infrastructure.

 

US officials say the aid is designed to boost Palestinian public support for faltering peace talks with Israel by showing them tangible benefits from the process. The new aid brings the US contribution to a Palestinian infrastructure program to $100 million. (AP)
