The Palestinian Authority Sponsors Terror
(Times of Israel) Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser and Sander Gerber - The Palestinian Authority repeatedly declares that it is determined to keep paying salaries to terrorists, as well as to the families of terrorists who died while performing terror attacks. In the PA's 2018 budget, this amounts to $355 million, nearly half of the foreign aid the PA expects in 2018. The PA has long proven itself not to be a potential partner for peace through its hate indoctrination and incitement. There is no reason to worry about the fate of the PA. It will survive at least until Abbas leaves and if it falls, then it is going to happen because of internal power struggles. Security cooperation will probably continue because it benefits the PA in its struggle against Hamas. Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser and Sander Gerber are fellows of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
