PA Continues Pay-for-Slay Scheme
(Jerusalem Post) Amichai Stein - The Palestinian Authority transferred $163 million to terrorists in 2025 under its "pay-for-slay" mechanism - $132 million to terrorists currently in prison, and $31 million to the families of terrorists killed while carrying out attacks, the Jerusalem Post learned on Wednesday. Terrorists released as part of the most recent hostage deals received a "special grant" from the Palestinian Authority. Senior Israeli security officials said that in recent months, salaries of PA employees, including teachers, doctors, and nurses, have been reduced to ensure that payments to terrorists remain unaffected. The current average salary in the PA is $1,000 per month. Payments to terrorists, however, can reach $4,000 per month.
