assistance may not be provided directly or indirectly to the 
Palestinian Authority (or to any successor or related entity) or for

                    (A) is not tainted by violence;
                    (B) has publicly rebuked Palestinian violence and 
                terror;
                    (C) has ended hateful incitement; and
                    (D) has taken all actions within its capacity to 
                dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism; and
            (2) the violence in the West Bank and Gaza has subsided.
