The Bush administration is trying to maintain a united front with its European and Arab allies to stick to a warning to cut off financial aid to the Palestinian Authority if Hamas does not declare again its anti-Israel positions, American officials as said Thursday. Secretary Rice repeated this week that the Bush administration did not wish to damage the welfare of Palestinians and would continue food and maintenance aid, presumably including aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, which gets about $85 million a year from the United States.
