Payments to jailed terrorists are a “social responsibility”, a special advisor to Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas claimed on Thursday.
“Payments to support families are a social responsibility, to look after innocent people affected by the incarceration or killing of their loved ones as a result of the military occupation,” the advisor, Nabil Shaath, said in a speech he delivered in Abbas’s name at the 2017 Herzliya Conference.
