Palestinian Payments to Incarcerated Terrorists and Martyrs' Families Rise in 2017

(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser - According to the PA budget for 2017, salaries to incarcerated and released terrorists will amount to $153.4 million, a rise of 13% over 2016. The amount allocated in 2017 for the families of those killed or wounded in the struggle against Zionism is $190.8 million. Altogether, PA expenditures for supporting terror in 2017 total $344 million. This amounts to 49.6% of total foreign aid expected by the PA in 2017. By contrast, the total PA budget for real welfare support is $211.6 million. The amount of welfare support per family is much smaller than the salaries provided to terrorists and their families. The writer was formerly Director General of the Israel Ministry of Strategic Affairs and head of the Research Division of IDF Military Intelligence.
