U.S. SENATOR CHARLES E. SCHUMER RELEASED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT ON HIS MEETING WITH THE FAMILY OF TAYLOR FORCE:

“It was an honor to meet the family and West Point classmates of Taylor Force, the U.S. Army veteran who was tragically killed by a terrorist in Israel. I am a strong supporter of the Taylor Force Act, a bill that aims to put an end to the Palestinian Authority’s appalling practice of compensating terrorists and ensure Taylor’s legacy will live on. President Abbas must be held accountable for the Palestinian Authority’s record of incitement and must stop subsidizing terror. It’s abhorrent that they provide payments to terrorists and families of those who have committed violence against Israelis and Americans. As I told the Force family, I will do everything in my power to make sure Congress enacts this bill.”—U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer
