Netherlands admits to paying terrorists who killed 17-year-old Israeli
|
[Jpost] The killers of Rina Shnerb are members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine, a designated terrorist group in the EU.
The Netherlands paid part of the salaries of two gunnies involved in killing 17-year-old Rina Shnerb last year, Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok and Development Minister Sigrid Kaag admitted to parliament on Tuesday.
The killers are members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine, a designated terrorist group in the EU, and employees of the Paleostinian Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), to which the Dutch representative in Ramallah pledged nearly $20 million in 2013-2021.
Their salaries were paid in part by Dutch funds covering UAWC overhead costs, though they were not directly involved in the land and water management program sponsored by the Netherlands. They also received accreditation, identifying themselves as "employees of a partner organization of the Dutch representation," in Ramallah a letter from the ministers said.
The Netherlands is suspending its donations to UAWC indefinitely, pending an investigation.
"Because careful action is so important in this regard, I have decided to commission external research into any ties between the PFLP and UAWC," the ministers wrote. "The Cabinet... wants to independently determine whether and how continuation of the contributions is appropriate."
The ministers’ remarks came in response to a parliamentary question from three right-wing parties.
She also claimed that she was not previously aware of UAWC's ties to terrorist groups, though the Dutch-Israel advocacy organization Center for Information and Documentation on Israel (CIDI) and UK Lawyers for Israel reached out to the government and politicians in the Hague in May 2019 to highlight those connections, based on research by the Israeli think tank NGO Monitor.
