Dutch parliament curbs aid to PA over its support of terrorism

The Netherlands provides the PA with about $1.6 million in monthly aid. So far, the funds were allotted for the PA to spend it as its discretion. The Dutch parliament has now decided that any aid funds will be given to specific projects only.

The Dutch parliament has voted to curb the county's aid to the Palestinian Authority, citing the PA's policy of paying convicted terrorists and their families.

Dutch lawmakers explained that they oppose the payments because they know that some of the funds are used to pay terrorists and their families as part of Ramallah's "pay to slay" practice.

The Netherlands provides the PA with about €1.5 million ($1.6 million) in monthly aid. So far, the funds were allotted for the PA to spend it as its discretion. The Dutch parliament has now decided that any aid funds will be given to specific projects only.

On Tuesday, the Netherlands' House of Representatives passed motion bucking against a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice ordering the bloc's 28 member-states to label Israeli goods made in Judea and Samaria settlements.

The motion, approved by a vote of 82-68, urged the Dutch government to reject the ruling unless similar standards are applied to all disputed territories worldwide, saying that singling out of Israel in this matter was discriminatory.
