The Palestinian Authority (PA) is in a lobbying war with an Israeli nongovernmental organization over congressional efforts to amend an anti-terror law that has resulted in the inadvertent end of US aid to the West Bank and Gaza.
Justice Department filings reviewed by Al-Monitor show the PA has dispatched the law firm Squire Patton Boggs to lobby Congress to amend the Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act, which has created a key legal barrier to economic, humanitarian and security assistance for the Palestinians.
