  • Since 2019, PA refuses to pay full salaries to employees, but it continues to pay $350 million a year in Pay-for-Slay terror rewards

2019 – PA Ministry of Finance:

  • “The March [2019] allowance salaries of the prisoners… will be paid in full tomorrow, in accordance with the orders of President Mahmoud Abbas… [but] the public employees’ salaries will be paid at a rate of 50%”

2024 – PA Ministry of Finance:

  • “The April [2024] salaries of the [PA] public employees will be paid on Sunday [June 9], at a rate of 50%”

Columnist at PA daily:

  • “The PA will not [stop paying salaries to prisoners]… because if it had done so, it would have admitted that these people are terrorists, as Israel claims”
  • “The [PA] employees have received only half of the monthly salary [since 2019]. In other words, with the passage of more than five years, this [PA] employee is defined as one of the poor of society.”

Al-Marsad – Social and Economic Policies Monitor:

  • “The [PA] Monetary Authority is forcing the [PA] public sector employees to take loans to cover its loans”
