PA seeks to keep terrorist murderers paid via Jordanian bank accounts
“[PA] Monetary Authority Governor Azzam Al-Shawa emphasized today, Wednesday [May 6, 2020], in response to a question of a reporter of [the independent Palestinian news agency] Wattan about Jordanian banks having closed released prisoners’ accounts: ‘As of now, the banks have not closed released prisoners’ accounts.’ Al-Shawa added: ‘We heard about the matter in the media and have not seen it on the ground. This issue rises to the surface all the time.’
At a press conference that was held at the Monetary Authority headquarters in Ramallah, Al-Shawa emphasized that they are monitoring the matter so that we all will be certain that everything is being managed according to the Palestinian banking rules and regulations.
He added: ‘Consultation is being held with the brothers in the [PA] government and presidency to organize this matter in order to protect the rights of every Palestinian, whether he is a prisoner or a Martyr.’
Al-Shawa continued: ‘The issue is complicated, and the occupation has not officially informed us about this.’”
