Abbas regarding terrorists’ salaries: if left with a penny, we will divide it among the children of the Martyrs, prisoners and wounded
Official PA TV News
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: “Taking care of the children of the Martyrs is an important thing, because the Martyrs are the most precious thing we have. You know how much we take care of the issue of the Martyrs, prisoners, and wounded, and the battle that we are currently experiencing with the Americans and the Israelis, as they want us not to pay the allowances to these families (refers to Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act of 2018 and Anti “Pay-for-Slay” Law; see notes below –Ed.). Be absolutely certain that if we are left with [just] one penny we will divide it into three parts – one for the children of the Martyrs, one for the children of the wounded, and one for the children of the prisoners. We will not leave them prey to hunger or poverty. This issue has been sacred for us since [Fatah’s establishment in] 1965.”
