Israel Matzav: 'Palestinian Authority' names street after bombmaker, builds government complex on it

'Palestinian Authority' names street after bombmaker, builds government complex on it

The 'Palestinian Authority' has named a street in Ramallah after Yihya Ayash, a Hamas bombmaker (what - you thought Fatah and Hamas were enemies?) who was eventually killed when he answered a call he should have ignored with his cell phone. Now, the 'Palestinian Authority' is building a government complex on the street.

The PA is building its government complex on a road named after infamous terrorists Yahya Ayash, nicknamed “The Engineer".

Ayash was active in Hamas and responsible for the murder of hundreds of Jews throughout Israel. In the nineties he joined the Izz al-Din al-Qassam military organization of the Hamas, and specialized in creating improvised explosive devices.

His terror attacks include the suicide attack on a bus in Afula on April 6, 1994, a suicide attack on a bus in Hadera on April 13, 1994, an attack on a bus in Tel-Aviv on October 19, 1994 and the double attack at Beit Lid junction on January 22, 1995.

Ayash was finally assassinated in Gaza via a booby-trapped mobile phone.

The Prime Minister' office issued a statement in response to this report on Wednesday night.

"This is an outrageous glorification of terrorism by the Palestinian Authority. Right next to a Presidential compound in Ramallah, the Palestinian Authority has named a street after a terrorist who murdered hundreds of innocent Israeli men, women and children. The world must forcefully condemn this official Palestinian incitement for terrorism and against peace."

Well, don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. Rumor has it that they asked White House Press Secretary Gibbs about this last night and he said that Obama would be voting "present."
