Palestinians slam Israeli plan to withhold terrorist stipend money from PA
Palestinians are criticizing an Israeli plan to withhold funds from the Palestinian Authority equivalent to the amount that the PA pays to terrorists and their families.
Palestinian Prisoner Club Chairman Qadura Fares calls the proposed Israeli bill, which passed a ministerial committee today, “piracy” and vows the payments will continue.
He brands the bill as an “Israeli attempt… to stigmatize the Palestinian struggle with terrorism and to mix the issues of the so-called war on terror with the Palestinian martyrs and prisoners who fought for freedom.”
