Biden administration to restore $235m in US aid to Palestinians

US President Joe Biden's administration plans to provide $235m (£171m) of aid to Palestinians, restoring part of the assistance cut by Donald Trump. Two-thirds will go to the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, which has suffered a financial crisis since it lost $360m of US funding in 2018. Mr Biden wants to "restore credible engagement" by the Palestinians in long-stalled peace talks with Israel.
