PLO official says terrorist salaries will continue, as it is a “national and humanitarian responsibility”
Headline: “Tayseer Khaled: Israel returns to robbing and pouncing on the Palestinian tax money”
“PLO Executive Committee member and Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) political bureau member Tayseer Khaled again emphasized the decision of the PLO Executive Committee in its latest meeting, which determined that the Palestinian National Fund (see note below –Ed.) will continue to stand by its national and humanitarian responsibility towards the families of the Martyrs (Shahids) and wounded of the Palestinian people and the families of the prisoners in the Israeli collective prisons. This is the responsibility that the National Fund has borne since its establishment in 1966, as the national institution appointed to take care of the interests of the victims of the Israeli occupation and the terror that the State of Israel has been committing against the members of the Palestinian people since the first day of its establishment.
These statements came in response to the Ministerial Committee for Legislation in the Israeli Parliament approving a bill (sic., the bill was approved by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation under the Israeli government. The bill has not yet been passed by the Israeli Parliament), according to which the allowances (mukhassasat) of the prisoners and their families and the families of the Palestinian Martyrs will be deducted from the tax money that the Israeli occupation state collects for the PA.”
