The Biden Administration, World Bank, and EU stand ready with taxpayer financing to ensure that PA Chair Abbas and his terrorists don’t run out of murder-for-hire payments anytime soon.
Back in March, the Biden administration claimed that it was persuading the Palestinian Authority (PA), led by Mahmoud Abbas, to change its murder-for-hire “pay for slay” policy. Terrorists who have been imprisoned in Israel for their crimes, as well as families of deceased or wounded terrorists, receive monthly stipends as a reward for murdering Jews. The longer the prison sentence, the higher the monthly stipend. Talk about incentivizing and encouraging terrorism.
“There’s been a great deal of work on this behind the scenes, and the progress is encouraging,” an unnamed senior Biden administration official told Politico in March, while another said that “changes to the system were expected soon.”
The Biden administration has its own reasons for giving the false impression that the PA is reforming itself. The administration plans to reward Iran and the Palestinians for their October 7 massacre and the nearly 20,000 rockets fired into Israeli towns and cities by forcing a two-state solution on Israel. Such a Palestinian state, according to the Biden administration, will be run by a “revitalized” Palestinian Authority, and for that it is necessary to give the impression that the PA has started to “reform”. That is why we are all now supposed to pretend that the PA leadership, with its praise of the October 7 massacre – calling it “heroic” – no longer promotes or rewards terrorism.
