According to local media reports, following his release from prison, Abu Makh, a member of a cell that abducted and murdered Israeli soldier Moshe Tamam in 1984, returned to his home in Baqa al-Gharbiyye, where locals were waiting to welcome the terrorist home with pictures of him and Palestinian flags.
In an interview with Army Radio, Monday, Moshe Tamam's brother Oren demanded Israel strip Abu Mukh of his citizenship.
"We live a 10-minute drive from him. This bastard has been receiving support from the Palestinian Authority for decades. We could see this human scum in the mall near our house," he said.
"We were shocked by the pictures of the celebrations of joy in Baka al-Gharbiyye with PA flags, it is as if the country is paralyzed. He is a despicable killer. He has blood on his hands," he said.
Abu Mukh is one of the Palestinian Authority's highest-paid terrorists, according to Palestinian Media Watch's report on Ramallah's pay-to-slay program.
On Facebook, Moshe's niece Ortal said her family had asked Interior Minister Aryeh Deri to revoke Abu Mukh's citizenship over a year ago but that Deri had refused to meet with them.
In a post to Facebook, Sunday, Transportation Minister Miri Regev said, "There is nothing more moral and right than the Tamam family's demand to revoke the citizenship of the despicable terrorists who murdered the late Moshe Tamam."
