50 US Lawmakers Call on Biden to Negotiate End to Palestinian ‚Pay for Slay‘ | Algemeiner.com
A bipartisan group of 50 members of Congress on Tuesday wrote to Secretary of State Antony Blinken urging him to negotiate an end to the Palestinian Authority’s so-called “pay for slay” program.
The letter, led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), notes that the Palestinian “Martyrs’ Fund,” which makes official payments to Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, the families of ‘martyrs’ killed in attacks on Israelis and to injured Palestinian militants, makes up about 8% of the Palestinian Authority’s total budget, costing the PA roughly $300 million a year.
