US welcomes EU preserving aid for Palestinian people: State Dept

Description

The United States says it welcomes EU support for continuing development aid to the Palestinian people after attacks on Israel by Islamist militant group Hamas. "They did reverse that, which is a step that we welcome. We have made very clear that we do not have any grievance with the Palestinian people," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller tells reporters. Brussels had earlier rowed back comments from EU neighborhood commissioner Oliver Varhelyi that the bloc was immediately suspending "all payments" to the Palestinians. SOUNDBITE
