Released Terrorists Are Paid by PA for Doing Nothing


(Palestinian Media Watch) Lt.-Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch - Qadri Abu Bakr, Director of the PA-funded Commission of Prisoners and Released Prisoners' Affairs, told Ma'an News in an interview: "A prisoner is released from prison and receives a released prisoner's salary, without working and without doing anything....We have 7,000-8,000 released prisoners who are receiving a salary like this." According to an official pay scale, all terrorists released after 5 years in prison receive a starting salary equivalent to that of an officer.

The writer served for 19 years in the IDF Military Advocate General Corps, including as Director of the Military Prosecution in Judea and Samaria.
