Following Australia’s decision to suspend direct funding to the Palestinian Authority because it pays salaries to terrorists and their families, senior P.A. official Nabil Shaath, who is also an adviser to P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas, launched a verbal attack on Australia:Mahmoud Abbas’s adviser on Foreign Affairs and International Relations Nabil Shaath: “This filthy talk of “the criminals” in connection with our Martyrs and prisoners, while they are our heroes, the heroes of self-sacrifice and the candles of freedom. They cannot be compared to the Israeli criminals in Israel’s prisons. … Australia’s decision [to stop] transferring $10 million angered me greatly. … It transferred [the aid to the United Nations] … so that it would not serve for payment of the salaries of the [prisoners and Martyrs’] families. In other words, the truth is they are worthy of being spat on. You [Australians] are the servants of the U.S. .. I don’t want your 10 million; I don’t want to chase after them.”More: Here -- source link
