Victims of Palestinian Terror Sue U.S. Government for Funding "Pay for Slay"
(Jerusalem Post) Tzvi Joffre - American victims of Palestinian terror attacks filed a lawsuit against President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken Tuesday for financial aid to the Palestinian Authority, stressing that these funds end up in "Pay for Slay" rewards given to terrorists and violate the Taylor Force Act. The act prohibits the Executive Branch from providing certain types of foreign assistance to the PA unless the PA takes "credible steps" to end acts of violence against Israeli and American citizens and ends "Pay for Slay" payments. The lawsuit pointed to the transfer by the Biden administration of $75 million in economic support in 2021 to programs that directly benefit the PA and do not fall within the Taylor Force Act's exemptions, as well of hundreds of millions provided to programs benefiting the PA. The plaintiffs include Stuart and Robbi Force, the parents of Taylor Force, a West Point graduate murdered by a Palestinian terrorist in Tel Aviv.
