THE man accused of murdering Brit student Hannah Bladon will reportedly get £800 a month from the Palestinian government - which is handed £25m in UK foreign aid.

The Daily Mail reports that Jamil Tamimi, who has a history of mental health issues, will likely be praised as a resistance 'hero' by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and will qualify for a salary.

Tragic Hannah was on a placement at Hebrew University in Israel from Birmingham Uni when she was killed on a tram.

Her flatmate said she tried to alert her after hearing of the Good Friday attack on a tram in Jerusalem.

Hannah was taken to hospital but died soon after while two other people, including a pregnant woman, sustained minor injuries when the tram came to a sudden halt.

The 57-year-old Palestinian is said to have told cops he killed the 20-year-old in the hope that a soldier in the carriage would kill him.

An Israeli court has ruled he is fit to stand trial over her death and will be treated as a terrorist by the justice system.

According to Itamar Marcus, spokesman for the Israeli monitoring group Palestinian Media Watch, that means Tamimi or his family qualify for a 'salary' from the PA.

He told the Daily Mail: “According to PA law, everyone who is imprisoned for 'resisting the occupation' receives a PA salary”

Ofir Gendelman, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's official spokesman, is said to have tweeted: “Not only didn't PA president Abbas condemn Hannah Bladon's murder, but he'll reward the Palestinian attacker who did it with a monthly salary.”

Britain is said to give the Palestinian government £25 million a year from foreign aid for health and education.

The Daily Express reports a new foreign aid row has broken out over where that money ends up.

Hannah had arrived in Jerusalem in January to read bible studies, archaeology and Hebrew, and was due to complete a single semester then return to the UK in the summer.

In a statement, her parents said: “Hannah was the most caring, sensitive and compassionate daughter you could ever wish for. She was a talented student and was studying at Birmingham University for a degree in Religion, Theology and Archaeology.

“At the time of her death she was part of a student exchange programme and was studying at the Rothberg International School at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She had been taking part in an archaeological dig that morning."

They added: “Hannah was a talented musician, part of a serving team at her local church and a member of her local archaeological group. She was an enthusiastic rugby player and a keen Derby County supporter.

“She was driven and passionate and her death leaves so much promise unfulfilled. Our family are devastated by this senseless and tragic attack.”
