This is no surprise. Note also that it comes after the Trump Administration offered the “Palestinians” no less than $50 billion. As I show in my forthcoming book The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process, which will be out on December 3 and which you can preorder here, the “Palestinian” jihad is not based on poverty or a desire to regain “stolen land”; rather, it stems from deeply held Islamic imperatives that have prevented every negotiated settlement from bringing peace, and which will continue to do so.
“PA salaries to terrorists rise by 11.8% in 2019 – amidst self-inflicted financial crisis,” by Maurice Hirsch and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, July 3, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The Palestinian Authority has finally publicized its monthly financial expenditures for the first 5 months of 2019. They show that the PA has paid no less than 234,172,000 shekels (over $65 million), or, on average, 46,834,400 shekels/month in salaries to terrorist prisoners (including released prisoners) in spite of its self-imposed financial crisis.
Based on this monthly average, the PA expenditure on the “Pay-for-Slay” salaries to terrorist prisoners in 2019 should reach 562 million shekels, as compared to 502 million shekels in 2018. This amounts to 60 million shekels or a 11.8% rise in PA salaries to terrorist prisoners in 2019.
Since 2014, the PA Ministry of Finance had been publishing an annual anticipated budget in the first part of the year as well as monthly reports of actual expenditures in each budget category. Based on the monthly budgetary updates, Palestinian Media Watch exposed that the PA expenditure in 2018 on salaries to terrorist prisoners and released terrorist prisoners was no less than 502 million shekels.
Immediately after the Israeli cabinet implemented Israel’s Anti “Pay for Slay” Law and started deducting from the 2019 tax income the amount PMW had shown that the PA spent in 2018 on salaries to the terrorist prisoners, the PA decided to disregard its donor countries’ demand of full financial transparency and hid all its budgetary data. In place of the monthly budget expenditure updates, the website of the PA Ministry of Finance carried a notice saying “Due to the contingency law and legal dependencies with the Israeli side, the financial reports were temporarily suspended.” This note appeared for almost three months.
Now, less than a month after PMW exposed the fact that the PA was hiding its finances, the PA Ministry of Finance has restored what appears to be most of the current budgetary information that its website used to contain. But strikingly, the PA’s annual budgets for the years 2014 – 2018 have been removed and the PA budget for 2019 has not been published.
The budget updates from the first five months of 2019 show that the PA is indeed implementing its declared priorities – to use their available funds, first and foremost, to pay the salaries to terrorist prisoners and to dead terrorists, the so-called “Martyrs.” PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and PA officials have reiterated this numerous times….

Up to his same old evil. He won’t stop until he is dead. islam is evil straight from satan and abbas is a willing servant of the demon.
mortimer says
If the donations to the Pallies were evenly distributed, they would all be multi-millionaires today. The dirty secret of these terror groups is CORRUPTION.
The salaries of Pally terrorist groups like Hamas and the PA come from donations from Arab countries who fuel the conflict with Israel.
The Pally terror groups are extremely corrupt and a forensic audit would show how the leaders syphon off billions intended for the needy into their private accounts. The government of Turkey gives the Pally terrorists safe havens in Turkey.
Mr. Cohen says
“As Israeli NGO Palestinian Media Watch has documented,
P.A. [Palestinian Authority] leaders are backing the decision
to continue payments to terrorists and their families,
even if it comes at the expense of ordinary,
law-abiding Palestinian citizens.”

Does Allah condemn the Jews and Christians
for anything besides being this way when He says,
‘They grass at the paltry things of this low life and say,
“We shall be forgiven” .’ (Koran 7:169)….
