(Ha'aretz) Ze'ev Schiff - The National Security Council was asked to present a range of possibilities for the injection of money into the PA following the establishment of a Hamas government. The council divided the possibilities according to the source of the money, the goal of the donation, and the purpose to which the money will be directed. If, for example, Japan should donate funds to Palestinian schools and addresses the money to the education minister in a Hamas government, Israel would not approve the donation - both because the recipient is a minister of Hamas, and because education - in contrast to water and energy, for example - is considered problematic by Israel. Palestinian schools, and certainly those run by Hamas, preach hatred of Israel and of Jews, and praise suicide bombers.
