A leading pro-Israel group is urging the Biden administration to stop sending weapons to the Palestinian Authority security forces, following the revelation that many of their members are involved in terrorism.

    A major Israeli think tank, Regavim, recently documented that the PA security forces list 2,000 of their members as “martyrs”—meaning they died while committing terrorism. In addition, fully 12% of all Palestinian Arab terrorists currently jailed in Israel are members of the PA security forces—approximately 500 out of the 4,500-5,000 jailed terrorists. Yet the Biden administration has been providing weapons and training for the PA security forces.

Moshe Phillips, National Chairman of Americans For A Safe Israel (AFSI), said:

“Instead of threatening America’s democratic ally, Israel, with an arms embargo, the Biden administration should be imposing an arms embargo on the Palestinian Authority. The PA has openly supported the October 7 massacres and many members of the PA security forces are involved in terrorism. That’s more than enough reason to stop giving them American weapons.”

Established in 1970, Americans For A Safe Israel / AFSI is one of the oldest and most influential pro-Israel organizations in the United States. Its advocacy and education campaigns serve as a potent counterweight to the rising tide of Arab propaganda. AFSI is not affiliated with any political party in the United States or Israel.
