| Park Hotel bombing in Netanya |
This week, the terrorist chosen for recognition was Abbas Al-Sayid, who planned the Park Hotel bombing in Netanya, in which 30 Jews were murdered and dozens more handicapped or scarred for life as they sat down for a Passover meal in 2002. Al-Sayid is serving 30 life sentences for murder.
PA Minister of Prisoners' Affairs Issa Karake visited Al-Sayid's family and gave them an honorary plaque from the PA. The PA logo can be seen on pictures of the
award in local Arab media, as can Al-Sayid's name.
Karake's visit was reported in Al-Hayat al-Jadida and on Fatah TV, in articles translated by the Palestinian Media Watch organization.
PA media reports said Al-Sayid has been on hunger strike for 21 days, in protest of the fact that he is currently in solitary confinement. “Karake warned of the severity of prisoner Al-Sayid's condition, following a deterioration of his health in the wake of the strike. He placed the responsibility for [Sayid's] life and health upon the Israeli government and the prison administration, and called for a response to the demands for an end to his solitary confinement,” according to Al-Hayat al-Jadida.
