Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told the National Insurance Institute not to hand over a payment for burial fees to the family of the terrorist who massacred eight yeshiva students Thursday. However, the decision will undergo review by legal experts "to see if it can be justified legally."
Speaking at Sunday's cabinet meeting, Olmert instructed the security forces "to act according to the law" in the matter of the mourners' tent put up by the killer's family in eastern Jerusalem. He asked that Hamas flags and other "nationalist symbols" be removed from the tent and its vicinity.
