Mahmoud Abbas has said Ramallah would not deduct a single penny from the fund, despite a Feb. 10 statement interpreted by some as ending the practice.

“We will not allow the Palestinian Authority to continue rewarding terrorists for murdering and harming Israeli citizens,” Katz declared.

The same families will receive the same money, just through a different mechanism.

The terrorists received $141,837,087 from the Palestinian Authority while serving time.

"His phone call tonight to a murderer of Jews is a wake-up call to those who still delude themselves about the P.A. being an alternative to Hamas in Gaza after the war," said Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich.

The Israeli Supreme Court's ruling dismisses a petition against compensating victims of Palestinian terrorist attacks with P.A. funds.

The Palestinian Authority "not only fails to oppose terrorism, it actively endorses it," Regavim report finds.

Ramallah is requesting ammunition, helmets, bulletproof vests, radios, night vision equipment, explosive disposal suits and armored vehicles.

Israel’s National Security Council reportedly briefed ministers that a failure to renew the agreement could have “significant negative consequences for state security and foreign relations.”

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich will extend a waiver allowing Israeli banks to do business with their Palestinian Authority counterparts for one month only.

The bill strips entities that transfer funds associated with terror — including the Palestinian Authority’s stipends to imprisoned terrorists and their families — from approaching the High Court.

The move is in response to Oslo recognizing a "Palestinian" state and other anti-Israel actions.

Smotrich tweeted that the move was in retaliation for the Palestinian Authority’s “pay for slay” stipends to imprisoned terrorists.

Despite claiming to be operating at a 172% budget deficit, the Palestinian Authority recently recognized 899 new prisoners from Gaza and tens of thousands more Gaza “martyrs” as eligible for controversial “pay for slay” payouts.

The decision was reportedly made as a tradeoff for Netanyahu's approval to legalize several outposts and approve building in Judea and Samaria.

The lawsuit is the first legal action taken since the Knesset passed the "Compensation for Terror Victims Bill."

The payments will continue, just under a different name and model.

If the PA would decide to cancel its terror rewards for just one month it could give the NIS 65 million to the hospital to help sick patients.

Under the P.A.'s "pay for slay" policy, Ramallah disburses monthly salaries to terrorists and their families.

"Since October 7, Israel has suspended visits to the Palestinian prisoners in the prisons. At the same time, Hamas has so far not allowed visits to the abductees it is holding. This is unacceptable."

The deal is meant to keep the money out of Hamas's hands while also reducing U.S. pressure on Jerusalem.

The PA will be paying Hamas terrorists who massacred Jews on October 7.

According to PMW, incarcerated Arab terrorists fill out forms to receive the “pay for slay” stipends and the Red Cross delivers the paperwork to Ramallah.

The Palestinian Authority will find a way to deliver the payments despite the fact that Gaza is at war and that Hamas seeks to overthrow the Ramallah government.

The kingdom contributed billions to Palestinian Authority Arab causes until cutting off funding over corruption.

We Believe in Israel and B'nai B'rith demanded to know whether U.K. taxpayers are contributing to Ramallah's "pay-for-slay" policy.

Police said the seizures included 270,000 shekels (over $74,000) in cash, six vehicles, one motorcycle, jewelry and gold.

The government denies the money came from funds frozen under the “anti-pay-for-slay law.”

“With a per capita GDP of roughly $3,500 and an average unemployment rate of 25 percent, the P.A. simply could not afford to pay for the salaries of terrorists without international assistance," said the Abraham Global Peace Initiative.

Enough of enabling the Palestinian Authority to reward terrorists, the minister says.
