of Action] Institute, Gina Farrisee, the deputy chief of staff at VA, is apparently a key member of the VA White House transition team that is preparing the agency for the next administration,” wrote Lamar Echols, coun-sel for Cause of Action, in a FOIA request to the VA. “If true, this arrangement creates the appearance that the transition process will be managed by Obama admin-istration political appoin-tees because Ms. Farrisee was an Obama administra-tion appointee until May 2016.”

That could be a problem because each federal agency is supposed to have two transition leaders, one from the political level and anoth-er from the career level.

year in defense aid.That number will soon

rise to $3.8 billion per year under a new decade-long pact, the biggest pledge of U.S. military aid in history.

But the Obama admin-istration has grown in-creasingly frustrated with settlement building in the West Bank.

There have been growing warnings that settlement

expansion is fast eroding the possibility of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Pales-tinian conflict, the basis of years of negotiations.

Settlements are built on land the Palestinians view as part of their future state and which they see as illegal under international law.

"We cannot stand in the way of this resolution as we seek to preserve a chance of

attaining our longstanding objective of two states living side by side in peace and security," said Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the UN.

Obama adviser Ben Rhodes said "we cannot simply have a two-state solution be a slogan," but added that "we did not draft this resolution."

"We took the position that we did when it was put to a vote."

'Big blow'Trump has signaled he is

likely to be far more favor-able to Israel.

David Friedman, his nominee for ambassador to Israel, favors moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and has voiced support for settle-ment building.

Some 430,000 Israeli set-tlers currently live in the West Bank and a further 200,000 Israelis live in east Jerusalem, which Palestin-ians see as the capital of their future state.

Hamas, the Islamist movement that runs the Gaza Strip, welcomed the vote.

former political appointee will be playing the role of a nonpartisan career employ-ee, an apparent conflict of interest,” Echols wrote.

Echols’ letter said this could also go against a May executive order by Obama, which said:

The peaceful transition of power has long been a hallmark of American de-mocracy. It is the policy of the United States to under-take all reasonable efforts to ensure that presidential transitions are well-coordi-nated and effective, without regard to party affiliation.

The VA did not respond to phone and email inqui-ries from The Daily Signal as of post time to confirm whether Farrisee is part of the transition team.

Goulding, with the Office of Personnel Management, said, “We can’t confirm any specific members of transi-

tion teams; we don’t have that information.”

The Obama administra-tion did not follow the rules to avoid political favoritism in hiring a quarter of all Obama administration po-litical appointees into career civil service jobs, according to a Government Account-ability Office report issued in September.

The report covered 30 federal agencies from Jan. 1, 2010, through Oct. 1, 2015. According to the report, agencies failed to get final Office of Personnel Man-agement approval when hiring political appointees to career jobs.

“In those instances where the agency did not submit a request for pre-appoint-ment review, [the Office of Personnel Management] informs the agencies in writing of the requirement to conduct a review of the se-lection post-appointment,” Goulding said, adding:

OPM also works with agencies to increase aware-ness and understanding of OPM policy in this area. In addition, we are required by law to report to Congress when those individuals who underwent a pre-ap-pointment review were appointed to the career position.
