"This is our tax money", Shtayyeh told the
Palestinian government's weekly meeting in the city of Ramallah, responding to
an Israeli pledge to offer a package of facilities to the Palestinians,
including cancelling a loan to the PA, Jordan News Agency, Petra reported.
Shtayyeh continued, "The
occupation authority, which
continues to kill our children daily, must be tried, and the international
silence and cover-up of its crimes against our people is not innocent of the
crime”.
Meanwhile, Ayed Abu Qutaish, director of the accountability
program at
Defense For Children International, Palestine Branch, said that
Israeli occupation forces have killed 40 children since the start of the year.
He said in a statement that Israel continued to detain 160
children, including 21 without trial under so-called administrative detention.
Qutaish said that impunity and the absence of accountability
is a green light for Jewish settlers to kill Palestinian children, pointing out
that in all attacks and killings of children the perpetrators were unpunished.
