World Cup exposes PA priorities, again!
Leaked Palestinian Authority documents about the participation of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, his entourage, and his extended family in the events surrounding the football World Cup in Qatar have again exposed Abbas’ priorities and the priorities of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA).
In the past, Palestinian Media Watch had claimed that the PLO/PA “Pay-for-Slay” terror reward policy was the highest priority of Abbas, the PLO and the PA. PMW’s claim was based on the manner in which Abbas, the PA and PLO allocated funds, and showed that rewarding the terrorists was even more important than the health of the Palestinians, (including treating Palestinian cancer patients, as well as children): the education of the Palestinians; and providing for the Palestinian needy.
For over a year, Abbas, the PA, and the PLO have been claiming to be suffering from a severe financial crisis. As a result of the crisis, the PA has only been paying its employees (including the terrorists) 70-80% of their monthly salaries. Some Palestinian officials have even argued that the partial salary payments have been the excuse for the increasing open participation of the PA Security Forces in acts of terror.
The leaked documents - correspondence between the office of Abbas, the Palestinian Embassy in Qatar, and the Qatari Foreign Office - expose a new list of priorities for Abbas and the PA to spend the money of the Palestinians, as follows:
- Mahmoud Abbas must go to the opening ceremony of the World Cup and spend a few days in plush Qatari hotel.
- Abbas must take his wife Amina Abbas with him
- Abbas must take his granddaughter Hala Mazen M Abbas with him.
- Abbas must take his grandson Mahmouf Mazen M Abbas with him.
