According to Israeli NGO Palestinian Media Watch, the P.A.’s monthly payments to the terrorist who planned the 2014 murders of Eyal Yifrach, Gilad Shaar and Naftali Fraenkel have been increased from NIS 2,000 to NIS 4,000.
PMW: ‘PA exaggerated cost of treatment in Israeli hospitals’
According to NGO Palestinian Media Watch, the Palestinian Authority inflated the cost of treatments in Israel by nearly 40 percent to justify canceling them, while simultaneously raising salaries to terrorists.
PA increased payments to terrorists by 11.8 percent in first half of 2019

Palestinians burn Trump in effigy in protest against Bahrain conference
Demonstrators call the U.S. president a Nazi, and his “deal of the century” the “deal of the devil” • Fatah: Participants in Bahrain are stabbing Palestine in the back.
Fatah calls on its official Facebook page for Palestinians to “escalate confrontations” across the country from June 24-26 in protest against the U.S.-sponsored summit in Manama.
“If the P.A. were to publish their current monthly budgetary report, the international community would be horrified,” says PMW founder and director Itamar Marcus.
Israeli Finance Ministry shows that even after deductions due to the P.A.’s “pay for slay” program, the P.A. would have received more money in the first two months of 2019 than it did on average per month in 2018.
The decision to prioritize salaries to terrorists over medical care for the general Palestinian population, thousands of whom were being treated in Israel annually, took effect on March 26.
A 15 million euro donation by the E.U. will fill the funding gap that P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas recently cut in order to continue payments to Palestinian terrorist prisoners and “martyr” families.
Mahmoud Abbas: Terrorists “were killed, imprisoned or wounded because of a national interest and for the sake of a national interest, and not for personal reasons.”
After two days during which Hamas and Islamic Jihad fired more than 600 rockets at Israel, Hamas’s official TV channel warned that if Israel does not honor the current ceasefire understandings to the terror organization’s satisfaction, it will disrupt the Eurovision.
Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas’s call to combat terrorism abroad stands in stark contrast to his repeated vows at home to continue his financial support for imprisoned terrorists, released terrorists, wounded terrorists and the families of dead terrorists.
