GAZA CITY (JNS) – A Palestinian Authority official told The New York Times on Nov. 21 that the P.A. would be changing its policy of rewarding terrorists with salaries based on the length of their prison sentence, and instead provide money on the basis of the needs of each individual terrorist’s family.

Palestinian Media Watch reported on Sunday, however, that the same official—Director of Palestinian [PLO] Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs Qadri Abu Bakr—had expressed the opposite sentiment two days earlier in Arabic, in the U.K.-based publication Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, asserting that the practice of paying salaries to imprisoned and released terrorists, and to the families of dead terrorist “martyrs,” will continue unabated regardless of outside pressure.
A similar message about the P.A. “pay for slay” policy—that the salaries to terrorist families “are non-negotiable”—was quoted on Fatah’s Facebook page on Nov. 19, according to PMW.
