PA's Terror Stipends to Continue under New System despite Claims of Reform
(Jerusalem Post) Amichai Stein - The PA's announcement that it canceled its policy on salary payments to terrorists was merely a "deception, a cosmetic move, and a facelift designed to gain legitimacy with the U.S. administration," senior Israeli security officials told a Security Cabinet meeting this week. The PA announced on Feb. 10 that Mahmoud Abbas had issued a presidential decree canceling the stipends. The security officials assessed that the PA would now transfer funds to terrorists and their families through alternative means.
