Clinton said the United States was pledging $900 million. She gave no breakdown of the funds, but her spokesman, Robert A. Wood, said on Sunday that it included $300 million in humanitarian aid for Gaza and about $600 million in budget and development aid to the Palestinian Authority, which is based in the West Bank.Meanwhile, high ranking Hamas officials (terrorists) required medical attention due to blisters forming while rubbing their hands together vigorously.
Clinton said the Obama administration is committed to engaging vigorously and intensively in the Mideast to push for a durable peace.
"We have worked with the Palestinian Authority to install safeguards that will ensure our funding is only used where and for whom it is intended and does not end up in the wrong hands," Clinton told the conference, according to excerpts of her prepared remarks provided in advance by the State Department.
