Palestinian Authority TV aired on April 10 footage from a party held for Fatah terrorist Rajaei Haddad, who was released from prison after serving 20 years for his involvement in the murder of Israeli citizen Gabriel Hirschberg in 1997.

P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas held a one-hour meeting with Haddad prior to the party.

Jamal Muhaisen of the Fatah Central Committee, who participated in the party, said that “the message to the occupation is that the issue of the prisoners and of the martyrs is where we draw the line.”

The team said that the person it banned purchased tickets, which were used by people who performed a Nazi salute.
