Palestinian Authority Spends 33 Times More per capita on Terror Stipends than on Health Services

(Palestinian Media Watch) Lt.-Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch - Analysis of the PA's expenditures in 2021 shows that, per capita, it spends 33 times more paying terror rewards than it spends on health services for the Palestinian population. It spends 11 times more paying terror rewards than it spends on education of Palestinian children, and twice as much as it spends on benefits for needy Palestinians. In 2021 the PA spent $193 million on terrorist prisoners and released terrorists and another $78 million, at least, on wounded terrorists and the families of dead terrorists. These sums were paid to 5,000 prisoners, 12,000 released prisoners and 40,000 families of dead terrorists. The writer served for 19 years in the IDF Military Advocate General Corps and was director of the Military Prosecution in Judea and Samaria.
