Pompeo’s response came after Khamenei tweeted at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

:: United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has traded barbs with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, saying that Iran provides support for terrorists while only donating small amounts of money to Palestinian aid organizations.

“Iran’s regime punished Palestinians by providing them just $20,000 — yes, $20,000 — via UNWRA from 2008 to 2017,” Pompeo tweeted on Saturday.

America’s top diplomat’s response came after Khamenei tweeted at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, saying that the Palestinians “should not be neglected even for a second”.

Pompeo quote tweeted Khamenei, noting that the US has, since 1994, provided $6.3 billion in aid to support the Palestinian people while “Iran’s morally corrupt regime provided hundreds of millions in aid to terrorists who endanger the Palestinians’ lives & livelihoods”.
