Berlin, 11 May 2021.

The clashes over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem are escalating. Arabs hoard stones and projectiles in the Al-Aqsa Mosque. From Gaza, rockets are fired at Jerusalem. Joachim Kuhs, member of the Federal Executive Board and budget spokesman of the AfD delegation in the EU Parliament, comments as follows: "Actually, in May, for the first time in 16 years, elections were to be held in the Palestinian Authority, financed with 1.5 million euros by the European taxpayer. Instead, the so-called "Palestinian President& #8216; Mahmoud Abbas has postponed the elections indefinitely. Fatah and Hamas prefer to rely on violence, terror, rockets, and escalation. The democratically unlegitimatePalestinian Palestinian Authority is subsidised by the EU every year with EUR 300 million and stubbornly refuses to negotiate peace with Israel. This flow of money must be stopped immediately until the Palestinian Authority returns to peace and democracy.“ Joachim Kuh's contribution: Suspending EU funds for the Palestinian Authority first appeared on Alternative for Germany.
