PA Continues Payments in Jordan and Lebanon

Palestinian terrorists in Jordan and Lebanon celebrated recent pay-for-slay payments, despite PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s 2022 decree to end the program. Palestinian Media Watch revealed that funds continue to be disbursed under a needs-based welfare framework, with payments to families of martyrs and prisoners exceeding NIS 18 million monthly. Notably, Ahlam Tamimi, who was involved in the 2001 Sbarro restaurant bombing, received significant funds despite her status as a wanted terrorist. Critics argue that these payments exemplify the Palestinian Authority’s ongoing support for terrorism, undermining its legitimacy as a political entity.
