            Subject: Foreign Assistance: U. S. Assistance to the West Bank and Gaza for Fiscal Years
            2010 and 2011

            For decades, the United States has worked toward the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian
            conflict, most recently under the 2003 Roadmap for Peace, which calls for an independent
            Palestinian state coexisting peacefully with the state of Israel.1 From fiscal years 2001
            through 2009, the United States provided about $3 billion in bilateral and multilateral
            assistance to the West Bank and Gaza, focused on further developing the Palestinian
            economic, social services, and civil society sectors and on strengthening the processes,
            governance, and security-providing capacity of Palestinian Authority (PA) institutions. Since
            June 2007, when Hamas-a U.S.-designated terrorist organization-seized control of




            IA Performance-Based Roadmap to a Permanent Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (UN
            Document S/2003/529, May 7, 2003). Among other things, this agreement obligated the Israelis and Palestinians
            to undertake a series of coordinated steps to disengage Israeli troops from areas in the Palestinian territories
            occupied after the 2000 intifada and replace them with consolidated and retrained Palestinian Authority (PA)
            security forces operating under the direction of the PA Interior Minister.
