While Leaders Talk Peace, PA Ministers Inciting, Encouraging Terror


(Jerusalem Post) Gil Hoffman - Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Ayalon noted Thursday that a Palestinian Authority minister had visited the families of suicide bombers while PA President Abbas was meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. PA Minister for Prisoner Affairs Issa Karake visited the Abu Hamid family, to meet a mother whose four sons were sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Israelis and give her an award. Karake praised the terrorists' mother and her family's contribution to the "struggle for Palestinian independence." He also visited the family of Ayyat Al-Akhras, a suicide bomber who murdered two Israelis in a Jerusalem supermarket in 2002. "While negotiations are restarting in Washington, ministers in Abbas' government are continuing with their incitement and encouraging acts of terrorism," Ayalon said. "The Palestinians need to make a decision, they cannot talk peace and at the same time encourage terrorism."
