NETANYAHU: WORLD MUST CONDEMN IRAN FOR PAYING TERRORISTS’ FAMILIES:
Posted on
PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Thur. 25 Feb. 2016, urged the world to condemn Iran for providing financial support to the families of Palestinian terrorists. The prime minister also called on the international community to denounce Palestinian incitement, which he said is the number one cause of terrorism. "Our fight against terrorism, which comes with the assistance and agitation of states and regimes, does not exist in a vacuum. Yesterday Iran announced that it will finance the families of the terrorists and murderers; this shows that Iran, even after the nuclear agreement, is continuing to aid terrorism, including Palestinian terrorism, Hezbollah terrorism and its assistance to Hamas,” Netanyahu said. "This is something that the nations of the world must confront and condemn and assist Israel – and other countries – in repelling,” he added. Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mohammad Fateh Ali, said that Tehran would give $7,000 to the families of each Palestinian terrorist killed while attacking Israelis. Iran will also give $30,000 to Palestinian families whose homes have been destroyed by Israel because a family member carried out a terror attack, he told a news conference in Beirut.
