US President Donald Trump today threatened to cut aid money to the Palestinian Authority unless it resumes peace talks. Trump's last month's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital prompted Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas to cancel a planned meeting with US Vice President Mike Pence in December, forcing him to delay his visit to the Middle East until later this month.<br/>''<br/>The US was the biggest donor to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine Refugees in 2016, giving over 3.6 billion US Dollar. It is also the largest overall supplier of financial support for the Palestinians. <br/>'<br/>The US president also dismissed the global fury over his decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Trump last month recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital despite warnings from the Arab leaders, reversing decades of US and international policy on the holy city. The Palestinians see east Jerusalem as their future capital.
