US ambassador: PA can either be a political body or terror sponsor, not both
US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman condemns the Palestinian Authority’s policy of payments to security prisoners following today’s terror attack outside the Givat Assaf outpost.
“In the past week Palestinian terrorists have killed or wounded 14 Israelis in multiple attacks. The Pal Authority maintains laws that will compensate these terrorists and their families for their heinous acts. The PA can be a political body OR a sponsor of terror, not both,” he tweets.
