Abbas: We "adhere" to the issue of Martyrs' and prisoners' salaries
"Yesterday evening [July 11, 2019] the second session of the Fatah Movement Advisory Council’s meetings took place in the [PA] presidential headquarters in Ramallah, in the presence of [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas and the Fatah Central Committee members.
The president gave a comprehensive political speech, in which he reviewed the latest political developments in the Palestinian arena, the internal situation, and all of the political developments. The speech emphasized the firm Palestinian position that rejects the so-called deal of the century (i.e., refers to US President Donald Trump’s as yet unpublished Middle East peace plan) and adheres to the basic national principles, and primarily Jerusalem and its holy sites, and the issue of the Martyrs and prisoners' money (referring to Israel’s Anti "Pay-for-Slay” Law to deduct terror salaries; see note below –Ed.)…
He again emphasized the refusal to agree to accept the partial tax money that Israel is holding in its hands, and that we want the Palestinian people's money in full, and not one penny less."
