Tweede Kamer. Holland slashes funds to Palestinian AuthorityHolland Parliament that is called “Tweede Kamer” approved a motion to stop the transfer of money to PA with 148 members voted in favour of motion in the House of total 150 members.

“The parliament asserts that since 2011, the Palestinian Authority transfers money to Palestinian convicts in Israeli prisons so funds have a negative effect, in which criminality and terrorism are rewarded.
