US Secretary of State--Rex Tillerson--was in Jordan this week delivering some very good news for Jordan - but not for the PLO and UNRWA.
Tillerson announced America's commitment to fund Jordan to the tune of $1.275 billion per annum for the next five years - an increase of $275 million per annum over the previous annual commitment of $1 billion per annum during 2015-2017.
Part of this increased funding seems certain to come from defunding UNRWA--which receives about $355 million per annum from America. $65 million to UNRWA has already been frozen following President Trump's earlier warning.
