"The Biden administration may have allegedly been involved in an illegal coverup over the Palestinian government’s support for terrorism, a legal watchdog group said on Wednesday.
In a letter, the America First Legal Foundation demanded the State Department Inspector General investigate the Biden administration’s erasure of all mentions of the Palestinian Authority’s incitement to violence, as well as its support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, in a compliance report submitted to Congress last month.
'If State Department officials knowingly and willfully omitted or covered up material facts in this report, which is required by law, it could violate 18 U.S.C. 1001, the criminal statute prohibiting lying to Congress,' the watchdog said.
Information relating to Palestinian support for terror and support for BDS was included in a report compiled by the Trump administration in October 2020, but was later removed by the Biden administration, as the Free Beacon first reported.
According to the AFLF, the omissions were part of a bid to 'to facilitate the transfer of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to the Palestinians.'...
'We are concerned by attempts to conceal material facts regarding the PLO’s support for terrorism, commitment to the destruction of the State of Israel and the concomitant murder and/or expulsion of the Jews now resident there,' the ALFL’s FOIA request stated.”
