(Palestinian Media Watch) Lt.-Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch - The teachers in the Palestinian Authority are striking because the PA is not paying their full wages. Instead of paying teachers, the PA prioritizes paying hundreds of millions of shekels to terrorists. While the PA is peddling its "financial crisis" narrative, an examination of the financial reports published by the PA Ministry of Finance demonstrates that in 2018-2022, the overall income of the PA grew by 3.5 billion shekels. The vast majority of that growth - 2.5 billion shekels - actually came from taxes Israel collected and transferred to the PA. In 2022 the PA spent 865 million shekels rewarding terrorists and their families. In response to these terror payments, during 2011-2021, the international community reduced its foreign aid to the PA by more than 90%. The writer served for 19 years in the IDF Military Advocate General Corps and was director of the Military Prosecution in Judea and Samaria. 2023-03-27 00:00:00Full Article
