The PA's minister for prisoners' affairs, Issa Karake, last week awarded his government's "Shield of Resoluteness and Giving" to a mother, Um Yousuf Abu Hamid, whose four sons are in Israeli jails for carrying out terrorist attacks targeting civilians.
Karake upheld the Abu Hamid family as a "model of willpower and of the struggle for the independence of Palestine," according to the PA's Al-Hayat al-Jadida newspaper as translated by Palestinian Media Watch.
He called the mother a "central partner in the struggle, by virtue of what she has given and continues to give."
"It is she who gave birth to the fighters, and she deserves that we bow to her in salute and in honor," Karake was quoted as saying.
