Asharq Al-Awsat:
- āThe campaign was launched by a right-wing Israeli organization "Palestinian Media Watchāā¦[which] has been working for more than 30 years against the PLO and the Palestinian Authority, claiming that they are running anti-Jewish policies, approaches and practices that support terrorism.ā
- āPMW played a central role in the campaign against paying salaries to Palestinian detainees serving sentences in Israeli prisons, as well as to the families of the deceased.ā
Asharq Al-Awsat, a Saudi owned news outlet that is known for being a leading Arab daily newspaper, published an article describing the work of
Palestinian Media Watch. In the article, special attention was given to PMWās central role in the new initiative to have the Palestinian Authority funded Commission for Prisonersā Affairs designated by the US administration as a āsponsor of terror,ā and designated by the Israeli government as a āterror organizationā.
The article cites PMWās
report which was adopted by Congressman Doug Lamborn in his
letter to President Trump, recommending that the PA Head of the Prisonersā Commission Qadri Abu Bakr and the Commission itself be designated as āsponsor of terrorā in accordance with Executive Order 13224.
Following Lambornās letter, a number of MKās similarly wrote to Israeli Defense Minister, Benjamin Gantz, calling on him to
declare the Commission a terror organization.
