Palestinian Authority Insider Leaks U.S. Pressure Campaign

On September 20th, Palestinian news site Al-Haqiqa published what it claims are leaked minutes from a Ramallah leadership session. The documents — authenticity unverified — allegedly show U.S. envoy Hady Amr threatening to freeze $75 million in humanitarian transfers unless the Palestinian Authority supported a ceasefire framework designed to appease both Tel Aviv and domestic American politics. According to the alleged leak, Amr told PA President Mahmoud Abbas that “Washington’s patience will expire by October 1st.” Critics allege that this proves the U.S. is less concerned with humanitarian relief than with optics before the November 2025 U.S. elections. The White House has not acknowledged the leak, dismissing it as “disinformation,” but its circulation among Arabic media has sparked quiet outrage in Ramallah, where some allege Abbas’s inner circle is now divided over whether to continue cooperating with Washington.
