(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Marcus Dysch - The British government announced Friday it will continue to provide taxpayer-funded aid to the Palestinian Authority, with a series of "critical changes" to how the system has previously been run. From now on, British aid will focus "solely on vital health and education services," with funding going towards "the salaries of health and education public servants on a vetted list." No more UK funding will be available to PA workers in Gaza, and Britain will assess the PA's "fiscal and public financial management reforms" with targets set in order to secure future payments. Paul Charney, British Zionist Federation chairman, said: "The scandal of salaries for terrorists has been an issue that the Zionist Federation has campaigned on for a long time....Today's dramatic shift in funding priorities means that finally DfID [Department for International Development] is acknowledging that there is a fundamental problem with the Palestinian Authority's lack of accountability and support for violence." Last Monday, Prime Minister Theresa May said: "Let me be clear: no British taxpayers' money will be used to make payments to terrorists or their families." 2016-12-19 00:00:00Full Article
