Rep. Ros-Lehtinen Invites Four Neocons To Talk About Defunding The Palestinian Authority | The right-wing House Foreign Affairs chair Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) plans to call in four neoconservative analysts Wednesday to discuss U.S. funds that assist the Palestinian Authority, the body that governs parts of the West Bank under agreements with the occupying Israeli authorities. For the hearing, called “Promoting Peace? Reexamining U.S. Aid to the Palestinian Authority, Part II,” Ros-Lehtinen is planning to bring in former Bush National Security Council official Elliott Abrams, James Philips of the Heritage Foundation, Jonathan Schanzer of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and David Makovsky of the AIPAC-formed Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Makovsky’s work is less hostile to the Palestinian goal of an independent state than his co-panelists.
