Elliott Abrams: “As long as the Palestinian Authority is, in effect, rewarding terror, we need to make our views, our repugnance, known.”

All these funds, all Venezuelan government funds are, in our view, rightly available to the legitimate Interim President, Mr. Guaido, and the National Assembly.

This notion that, well, we cannot do this because there will be disorder in the West Bank or the Palestinian Authority would collapse, I think it is a reasonable concern, but it is not going to happen.

Cutting all the funds but allowing a 100 percent national security waiver, I think, achieves almost nothing.

I believe American passivity regarding Syria is extremely dangerous.
