PA to give Hamas terrorists' families close to $3 million in 'pay-for-slay'

The PMW (Palestinian Media Watch) claims that the $2.8 million payments is a low estimate because there will be more "martyrs" and prisoners from the Hamas terrorist organization.

The Palestinian Authority will pay families of dead Hamas terrorists a combined total of around $2.8 million, according to a report by the Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), a nongovernmental organization and media watchdog group.

In the current "pay-for-slay" system, called the "Martyrs’ Fund" by the PA, terrorists receive monetary payments as a reward for acts of terror. The more damage an attack causes, the higher the terrorist or the terrorist’s family is paid. The PMW reported that a terrorist's family would be rewarded NIS 6,000 (around $1,500) and an NIS 1,400 ($353) allowance monthly for life. Both come up to about NIS 7,400. The families that the terrorists married into will receive an even higher amount, the report claims.

The authority will also pay $17,590 to approximately 50 new Hamas prisoners this month, the report said.

The amount in payments is reportedly a low estimate

The $2.8 million in question equals more than NIS 11 million.

Furthermore, the PMW accuses the Palestinian Authority in the report of receiving funding from countries from the European Union so that they can make the payments for the "pay-for-slay" program.
