(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Lee Harpin - In a letter sent to Prime Minister Theresa May, Labour Friends of Israel chair Joan Ryan MP urged the government to seek assurances from PA leader Mahmoud Abbas that Jamil Tamimi, the man who murdered British student Hannah Bladon in Jerusalem last week, will not now be paid a salary by the PA for his act of terrorism. The letter also called on the British government to request that the PA publically condemn the murder. The letter said that if President Abbas failed to fulfill both demands, Britain's Department for International Development should "sanction the PA financially....British taxpayers will rightly not understand if our aid money goes to a body which pays obscene 'salaries' to those who murder British citizens....The Palestinian Authority needs to be told in no uncertain terms that unless it stops paying salaries to terrorists who murder innocent people - British, Israeli or any other nationality - our aid to them will stop until they get the message."
