Palestinian Authority Makes Fresh Round of Terrorism Payments Weeks After Vowing To End Them
27th March 2025
Well, you know what Muslim promises are worth.
The Palestinian Authority made another round of “pay for slay” payments to the families of terrorists on Tuesday, according to the PA’s official newspaper, marking at least the second time it has done so since its leader, Mahmoud Abbas, issued a decree purportedly ending the practice.
The PA distributed the funds to “28 families of Martyrs and 10 families of prisoners” affiliated with its security forces in Jenin, the PA’s daily newspaper, Al-Hayat al-Jadida, wrote on Wednesday, according to a translation provided by watchdog group Palestinian Media Watch.
The paper quoted the director of the PA’s intelligence service in Jenin, Adnan Abu Aisheh, who said the payments were made “based on what President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas has emphasized again and again—[which] is that if we are left with one penny, it will be paid to the families of the Martyrs and the prisoners.”
Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.
