Diplomats Say EU Knew Palestinians Misappropriated Cash to Finance Terrorism
(IMRA/Rotterdam NRC Handelsblad) - "Everybody has known for quite some time now that money ended up in the wrong hands. Officially, however, they feigned ignorance so as not to jeopardize attempts to revive the peace process," said an EU diplomat. More than one half of all the EU's international aid goes to the Palestinian Authority. Between 1994 and 2001, the EU gave 1.446 billion euros in aid to the Palestinians, and EU member states supported the Palestinian Authority with an additional 1 billion euros.
