How Much Does the PA Pay Terrorists?
Hamas MP reveals just how much Abbas's PA pays in monthly wages to 'martyrs' and jailed terrorists - and the figures are staggering.
While the Palestinian Authority (PA) has often been touted as a peaceful alternate to Hamas by some, a Hamas MP in the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) has revealed just how involved the PA is in funding terrorism.
The MP, Yahi Musa, stated that the PA government in Samaria's Ramallah has paid a total sum of $5 billion in wages over the course of the last eight years.
According to Musa, the number of workers in the public sector that are registered with the employment office stands at 175,000, but the total number of people who receive wages and stipends from the government is no less than 200,000.
He noted the extra 25,000 people on the paylist include "martyrs" - meaning the families of Arab terrorists killed while engaged in attacks, as well as those who were wounded while taking part in conflict, security prisoners - namely jailed terrorists, as well as released security prisoners.
