[Jpost] The country had given about $1.6 million directly to the Paleostinian Authority annually to pay the salaries of justice ministry employees.The Dutch government has cut funding for the Paleostinian Authority over its salaries to holy warriors serving time in Israeli jails. The aid ministry announced the move Wednesday during annual budget talks.

The Netherlands spends several million dollars each year on aid to the Paleostinian Authority and Paleostinian populations elsewhere in the Middle East but most of that money is given to agencies and nongovernmental organizations. The country had given about $1.6 million directly to the Paleostinian Authority annually to pay the salaries of justice ministry employees. The aid ministry said that talks with the Paleostinian body "did not lead to the desired outcome." Posted by: trailing wife 2019-11-21 |
