US security aid to Palestinians to end Thursday, envoys seek workaround

None

The loss of the some $60 million in annual funding would marks another tear in ties between the Trump administration and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and potentially undermines his security cooperation with Israel in the West Bank.
