Defense Minister Ehud Barak has approved making benefit payments to Gaza residents who the government views as entitled to Bituach Leumi (social security) and pension payments. According to a Haaretz report, the defense minister decided on the “good will” gesture which carries an annual price tag of NIS 25 million.
Government estimates point at 1,000 Gaza residents entitled to benefits, acknowledging the logistical difficulties involved since the Hamas terrorist regime does not maintain relations with Israel and Israeli and Hamas banks do not have cooperation agreements.
Nevertheless, Barak, a master of good will, has set up a new mechanism to actualize the transfer of funds to the residents of the Hamas terrorist regime to ensure an additional NIS 25 million annually is sent from Israel to Gaza.
Fortunately for Israel, officials in Ramallah, working under Fatah PA leader Abu Mazen, Hamas’ arch enemy, have volunteered to oversee the transfer of funds to Gaza. They promise the funds will be deposited in Ramallah banks every month, and from there, officials promise to transfer the monies to Gaza recipients.
In another act of good-will, Barak over the weekend officially informed United Nations Secretary-General Bank ki-Moon that Israel is willing to pay $10.5 million in compensation for damages to UN institutions in Hamas controlled Gaza, stressing it is an act of good-will and not an admission of wrong doing on Israel’s part, which Hamas and the UN accuse of “war crimes and crimes against humanity”.

There are NO WORDS (that YWN will print) to describe what a mushchas and lowlife this sheretz really is. I hope you can get the hint from the “nice” words I HAVE used as to how I really feel about him.
