The Israeli Foreign Ministry on Tuesday tweeted a video of Syrian journalist Mustafa al-Miqdad alleging that some Gazans send their children into dangerous situations in the hope they will be injured by Israeli forces so their families can collect compensation from the Palestinian Authority.

“Years ago, at the Gaza border there was friction with the Zionist enemy. There were those who would go out to protests and marches there. As families, some would go together with their children … so they would be injured or something would happen to them, so they could later receive the monthly aid or the monthly salary,” al-Miqdad said in a Feb. 1 interview with Palestine TV, the P.A.’s main television station.

The Foreign Ministry tweeted: “Jobs, not Jihad. Welfare, not warfare. While their citizens struggle, the Palestinian Authority’s budget tells a dark story. They aren’t investing in job creation; they’re subsidizing terror. Palestinian children deserve a future, not a price tag on violence. End pay-for-slay.”
