A decision taken by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to cut off funding to the Yasser Arafat Foundation is “temporary” and “will not affect the institution’s staff,” said Munir al-Jaghoub, who heads Fatah’s Information Department in the Office of Mobilization and Organization.
The move aims to prevent the institution from being exploited for personal ends, Jaghoub explained.
The Palestine Liberation Organization’s institutions belong to the Palestinian people and are not allowed to be used for election campaigning purposes, he stressed.
His comments came after head of the Yasser Arafat Foundation Nasser al-Kidwa was dismissed last week from Fatah’s membership.
