The newly sworn-in Palestinian Authority (PA) government has come under scrutiny for including ministers with extreme and racist views towards Israel and Jews, as revealed by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), an Israeli organization that monitors Palestinian extremism.
One of the ministers, Muhammad Mustafa Najem, the new minister of religious affairs, has been accused of inciting violence against Israelis and characterizing Jews as evil and treacherous. Another member, Minister of Women’s Affairs Muna Al-Khalili, has praised Palestinian terror attacks as legitimate resistance.
