PM Netanyahu said that he had accepted the proposal, but Hamas rejected the deal. It is thought to include hundre

Palestinian Media Watch has documented that the Palestinian Authority and Fatah likewise glorify and honor terrorists and even reward them financially. In 2001 the Hamas student branch at Al- Najah University in Nablus celebrate
