Foreign secretary says there is ‘renewed desire to have meaningful resolution in region’ in statement ahead of Commons appearance
No British aid money goes directly to the Palestinian Authority, James Cleverly said, as a Tory backbencher condemned the payment of “so-called martyr salaries”. Conservative MP Chris Clarkson told the Commons: It’s been reported that the Palestinian Authority is to pay up to three million dollars a month in so-called martyr salaries to the families of dead and captured Hamas terrorists.
Will join me in condemning these payments to rapists, torturers, murderers, some of whom have killed Brits? And will he also use his good offices to ensure that no British aid money has gone towards this filthy practice? Cleverly said: I can reassure him that we always ensure that UK aid money is protected from misappropriation, and I can confirm to him and the House that no British aid money goes directly to the Palestinian Authority.
