Bennett claims family of West Bank terrorist to get NIS 15,000 a month

Education Minister Naftali Bennett claims that the family of the Palestinian terrorist who killed two Israelis yesterday in a West Bank shooting attack will begin receiving NIS 15,000 a month at the start of November.

“This must be stopped,” the Ynet news site quotes Bennett saying in reference to the Palestinian Authority’s policy of paying monthly stipends to families of security prisoners.

Speaking at a conference of the Institute for National Security Studies, Bennett also gripes that the homes of Palestinian attackers are not being demolished swiftly enough.

“We need to destroy the home of the terrorist. Not measure, destroy,” Bennett says.

The Israel Defense Forces said yesterday it had measured the home of Ashraf Walid Suleiman Na’alowa, the gunman in the attack, ahead of its eventual destruction.
