In the wake of Hamas\u2019s slaughter,\u200c &#8220;each family of \u200dthe 1,500 dead Hamas terrorists who invaded Israel will receive 7,400 shekels (around\u200b $1,900) for this\u200b first month.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Families of those terrorists who were married\u2062 and had children will receive even more,&#8221; according to Palestinian Media Watch\u2019s calculations. The Palestinian government &#8220;will pay \u2063at least 11,100,000 shekels ($2,789,430) this month as a reward for participating in last week\u2019s murders and atrocities against Israeli civilians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Palestinian government\u2019s terrorism incentive program has long\u2063 generated outrage among American lawmakers, who passed a bipartisan law in\u200d 2018 to ban American aid until the &#8220;pay-to-slay&#8221; program is ended. Even with the law \u2062in place, the\u2063 Biden administration decided to pump nearly half-a-billion \u200ddollars into the Palestinian government upon taking office. This prompted American terrorism victims to sue the administration for violating the law, known\u2063 as the Taylor Force Act.<\/p>\n<p>Palestinian government leaders, including PA president Mahmoud Abbas, have refused to \u200cend the &#8220;pay-to-slay&#8221; program,\u2064 even in \u2064the face of international pressure. &#8220;Regarding stopping the payments\u2062 to the families of\u200d the Martyrs and the prisoners by the PA\u2014this will not happen either,&#8221; Palestinian prime minister Muhammad Shtayyeh said in July.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of Hamas\u2019s most sophisticated attack in history, the PA is on track to give out a total of $2,807,021, though that number is expected to rise as more terrorists are killed \u200bor captured by Israel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 50\u2064 captured Hamas terrorist murderers will receive monthly salaries in prison starting at 1,400 shekels\/month [$348] \u200c which \u200dwill eventually rise to 12,000 shekels\/month [$2,983],&#8221; according to Palestinian Media Watch. &#8220;Terrorists\u2064 who are married and\u200b have children will receive even\u200b higher salaries. This month these newly arrested terrorists will receive \u2064at least \u200c70,000 shekels,&#8221; or $17,590.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden \u2063administration privately raised concerns in 2021 that its decision to resume Palestinian aid would bolster Hamas and other terrorist groups in the region, the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> first reported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We assess there is a high risk Hamas \u2064could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-raised-concerns-palestinian-aid-would-boost-hamas-it-went-ahead-with-aid-anyway\/\" title=\"Despite concerns about Hamas, the Biden administration proceeded with Palestinian aid.\">potentially derive indirect<\/a>, \u200bunintentional \u2063benefit from U.S. assistance to Gaza,&#8221; the State Department warned in internal correspondence circulated \u200din March 2021. &#8220;There is less but still some risk U.S. assistance would benefit other designated groups.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The administration moved ahead with its aid plan anyway, allocating millions to the Palestinian government as it continued to\u2064 pay \u2062terrorists and their families.<\/p>\n<p>European countries\u2063 that fund\u200c the \u200cPalestinian government also are liable for bolstering the &#8220;pay-to-slay&#8221; program, according to Palestinian Media Watch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Palestinian Authority\u2062 should be sending a big thank you to the EU countries and Norway, currently \u2063the largest funders of the PA because the PA could not possibly make these terror payments \u2064without them,&#8221; the group wrote in its analysis. \u2063&#8221;These donor countries\u2063 like to pretend that it\u2019s \u2063not\u2063 their money rewarding terrorists, but \u200beveryone knows that the PA\u2063 could not reward terrorists without this generous foreign funding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When payments to teachers, police, and\u2064 street cleaners\u2064 are taken care of by international donors,&#8221; the group wrote, &#8220;the \u2064PA has the hundreds of millions available it needs to pay for terror.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Representatives for the Palestinian Authority did not respond to a <em>Free Beacon<\/em> request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What \u200dare the concerns raised about the true intentions of the Palestinian government based on their support for terrorism?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Re than those killed, as well as the planners of the\u200d attack,&#8221; according to the Palestinian\u200b Media\u200c Watch.<\/p>\n<p>The blatant support for terrorism by the Palestinian government raises serious questions\u200b about the true intentions of its leaders.\u200b While they publicly claim to want a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/patagonia-donates-1-million-to-defending-democracy-dana-loesch-fires-back-patagonia-has-13-factories-in-china\/\" title=\"Patagonia Donates  Million To \u2018Defending Democracy,\u2019 Dana Loesch Fires Back. \u2018Patagonia Has 13 Factories In China\u2019\">actions speak louder<\/a> than words. By rewarding terrorists who commit heinous \u2062acts against innocent civilians, they are perpetuating violence\u200d and undermining any chance for a meaningful peace process.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the\u200d use of international aid money to \u200bfund this program is deeply concerning. Countries that provide financial assistance to\u2062 the Palestinian \u200dAuthority \u2062should demand transparency and accountability in how their aid is being used. It\u2064 is\u200c unacceptable for taxpayer dollars to be used to reward terrorists and their families.<\/p>\n<p>The decision by the Biden administration to provide financial assistance to the Palestinian government despite the existence of the \u200c&#8221;pay-to-slay&#8221; program is highly controversial. It not\u200b only goes against the spirit of \u2064the \u2064bipartisan law passed in 2018 but also sends a dangerous message that terrorism will be\u2063 tolerated\u2062 and even rewarded.<\/p>\n<p>Americans who have been victims of terrorism have rightly filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration\u200b for violating the\u200c Taylor Force\u200c Act. This law was enacted to honor the memory of Taylor Force, an American \u2064citizen who was brutally murdered by \u2064a Palestinian terrorist in 2016. It is \u2062essential\u200c that \u2063the United States upholds its own laws and stands firmly\u200d against the financing of terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>The international community must also address this issue and exert pressure on the Palestinian government to dismantle the &#8220;pay-to-slay&#8221; program. Peaceful\u200d coexistence cannot be achieved if one of the parties involved continues to incentivize and glorify terrorism.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the \u200dPalestinian government&#8217;s allocation of millions of dollars to \u2062terrorists and \u200ctheir families is distressing and undermines efforts for peace. The international community, \u200bparticularly those that \u2062provide \u2062financial aid, must demand accountability and work \u200btowards ending this harmful program. Support for terrorism should have no \u2063place in \u2063any society, \u2063and \u2062it is time for the Palestinian government to prioritize the well-being of its people and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/palestinian-government-to-reward-hamas-terrorists-with-nearly-3-million-watchdog-says\/\" title=\"Palestinian Government to Pay Hamas Terrorists  Million, Watchdog Reports.\">pursue genuine peace negotiations<\/a> with Israel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Palestinian government plans to give almost $3 million this month to the families of Hamas terrorists who killed around 1,500 Israelis and injured numerous others.
