RAMALLAH, January 30, 2012 (WAFA - PLO news agency) – The state-run
Palestine TV Monday denied Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
allegations and what he called “Palestinian incitement to kill Israelis and
a glorification of the killers of Itamar murder,” according to a press
release.

Netanyahu asked the Palestinian Authority to condemn Palestine TV following
a phone call, during a TV show about Palestinian prisoners, with the mother
and aunt of Palestinian Hakim Awad, 18, from the village of Awarta, near
Nablus, who was sentenced to five life terms after he was found guilty of
killing five members of a Jewish family in the settlement of Itamar.
Awad’s aunt said, during the phone call, that that her nephew was a “hero”
and a “legend.”

Palestine TV stressed, in a press release, that this prisoners’ show is
dedicated for human purposes; as a way to help prisoners, who are banned
from family visitations, to stay in touch with their families.

It said that what was said by the mother and the aunt innocently during the
phone call, which took place on Thursday during a live show, does not
express any opinion or an official position of the TV nor the Palestinian
Authority.

It called upon all concerned parties and journalists to watch the documented
show and not to settle for Netanyahu’s statements only.

Palestine TV said that Netanyahu aims through his allegations to fabricate
the truth, aiming to cover up the Israeli racist violations and crimes
against Palestinians, particularly prisoners detained at their jails.
