Abbas rejects EU demand to stop funding terrorists with EU money


Since the EU public statements are purposely misleading that they don’t mention paying Palestinian terrorists their salaries & pensions (11 million euros to pay the November salaries), Abbas’ Palestinian Authority ignores the EU’s discrete requests to no longer fund Arab terrorists. 

 

And the EU continues transferring money to Abbas’ Palestinian Authority

By Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik

Head of Prisoners’ Club: Government workers and prisoners’ salaries are paid together “What is disbursed to the prisoners is exactly what is disbursed to me and you [a PA civil servant]. Continue Reading »
