KUWAIT,
(PIC)-- Kuwaiti emir Sheikh Subah Al-Ahmad Al-Subah has officially
announced Sunday that his government will send the money allocated for
Gaza Strip to the Arab Development Fund instead of sending it to the PA
in Ramallah city.
The decision of
the emir was promulgated after Kuwaiti lawmakers and civil society
leaders expressed fears that the money could be wasted if it sent to
the team of Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.
The
decision was broadly welcomed among the politicians in Kuwait who
revealed that the PA government in Ramallah was relentlessly striving
hard to get the money and to handle the rebuilding programs, and not to
send it to the legitimate PA government in Gaza Strip.
"The
majority of the parliament members were against sending a single penny
to the PA of Abbas that lost legitimacy, because this money should go
to those who sacrificed their blood and souls for Allah", said Kuwaiti
MP Naser Al-Sane'e.
He also urged
his country's government to follow the directives of the emir, adding
that his group "Parliamentarians against corruption" possesses many
documents proving corruption of the PA of Abbas.
"We
have reliable information that Kuwait wasn’t convinced of honesty of
the PA in Ramallah, and thus the money won't go to Abbas who lost the
mandate as PA president", confirmed Abdul Aziz Al-Shayji, another
Kuwaiti legislator.
Kuwaiti masses
held big demonstrations against the Israel and in support of the
Palestinian resistance during the cruel Israeli war on the Gaza Strip
that lasted for 23 days and killed more than 1330 Palestinians, the
majority of them were children and women. |
