Israel to Deduct $180 Million from Palestinian Authority over Payments to Terrorists
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - Israel's security cabinet on Sunday authorized the deduction of the amount the Palestinian Authority pays terrorists and their families from the taxes and tariffs Israel collects for the PA. The National Bureau for Counter-Terror Financing in the Defense Ministry reported that the PA paid $180 million in 2020 to support terrorism. Every month, the PA pays convicted terrorists and the families of those killed while committing acts of terrorism. Terrorists receive more, depending on their prison sentence. That means the greater the severity of the crime, i.e., the more Israelis killed and wounded, the more they receive.
