PA Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh: “We stand here on behalf of my brother His Honor [PA] President [Mahmoud Abbas]... We pay allowances to 31,000 families of Martyrs. We are proud of this. It is no secret, after all the wars that Israel is waging against us because we are upholding our commitments to the families of the prisoners and the Martyrs. As President Mahmoud Abbas and we in the [PA] government together with him have said: This is not a matter of money, but rather of pride. This is a moral commitment. From our perspective the issue is that we want the Martyrs’ families to live proudly and in dignity.”
