Bank of Palestine Refuses to Shut Down Pay-for-Slay Accounts
(Jerusalem Post) Amichai Stein - The Bank of Palestine has refused a request from Israel's Finance Ministry to close 3,400 accounts used to distribute payments to released terrorists, sources told the Jerusalem Post on Friday. The accounts are linked to the PA's "pay-for-slay" program, which provides monthly stipends to Palestinians who were imprisoned for carrying out terrorist attacks. Israel believes that senior PA officials instructed the bank not to comply.
