Abbas denies Saudi aid
Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas said no Saudi money meant for needy Palestinians reaches militant groups, the official Saudi Press Agency reported Sunday.
| "Nope. Nope. All goes to widows and orphans..." |
Saudi financial assistance to the Palestinians goes through the Palestinian Authority, which takes a hefty rakeoff in turns directs it to social and economic programs and not to militant groups, Abbas told reporters late Saturday, according to SPA.
