Abu Ala (Mahmoud Qurei), whom Yasser Arafat has mentioned as his choice to succeed him as head of the Palestinian Authority, built himself a $1.5 million vacation home - from money that came from the international aid provided to the Palestinian Authority. So said IDF Coordinator in Judea and Samaria Gen. Amos Gilad last night, in an address to a group of Jewish veterans from abroad on a solidarity visit to Israel. Gilad said that cash given by the U.S., Germany and other countries \"personally enriches PA seniors and deepens the corruption in the PA.\" He said that abuse of the money by public figures greatly angers much of the Palestinian public and leads to a loss of trust in the Palestinian leadership. Gilad also noted that the cash is often used for buying weapons, and recommended that the foreign aid be directed towards projects that would help the entire PA public.
