The National Insurance Institute of Israel (NII) in paying allowances to some 112,000 Palestinian children living in the West Bank since the Interior Ministry's records show their mothers as living in east Jerusalem, Interior Minister Meir Sheetrit said Monday.
Sheetrit added that hundreds in the Palestinian Security Service were also enjoying stipends, since their wives' registered place of residence was east Jerusalem, while in fact, the families reside in the West Bank cities of Nablus, Hebron and Ramallah.
"This is not the way a country should conduct itself, but this is the situation right now," he said.
This is what we call in Israeli slang: balagan or SNAFU.

A 'balagan' is a mess. This is a mess-up, a 'fashla'.
But one of my slang-happy sons says no slang is necessary. This is, in simple Hebrew, 'shi'ga'on' - lunacy.
